A note on birthday-based deadlines. Some states (Texas, California, New York, Arizona) tie renewal to your license issue date. The .ics uses a mid-January placeholder — edit the event date to your actual deadline once you know it from your board portal, or use CosmoRenew Tracker which fetches the exact date from your license record.
Your real deadline, not a placeholder.
CosmoRenew Tracker pulls your actual expiration date from your license record and sends push, email, SMS, and calendar reminders at the right moments.
