I'm unsure if the license is good for your lifetime. I thought all FCC licenses had to be renewed every 10 years. Is a "permit" different than a "license"?
I have a HAM and GFRS license that does need to be renewed every 10 years but the restricted radio operator's permit is a lifetime thing...I couldn't say why, but at least I can't forget to renew it!

When I go into the ULS FCC database and list my licenses, it's the only one that doesn't show an expiration date.
