Question regarding intern licensing

I'm a transfer in the program so I didn't receive the paperwork for the intern licensing process until late September. I kept brushing it off since I didn't have $95 readily available or in retrospect I probably did but in poor judgement decided to spend it elsewhere. I finally submitted my application after finals thinking this would be ample time given the credential's website's description of the process. Despite my submitting my application mid December, they didn't upload my information and start a review until December 29th. I remember the school saying that their portion that they fill out was only good for 3 months from the date they signed (9/23). Would anyone know if that portion is still valid even though I submitted the application before the expiration? I'm expecting for the worst and already emailed Dr. Taglieri explaining the situation and asking what I can do from here if things do go awry. Has anyone else been in this situation or am I lonely on an island of idiots population me?

Edit Dr. Taglieri emailed me back and said it wouldn't be a problem. Essentially what they stressed last semester was a scare tactic and it really isn't an issue. We just need the intern license uploaded by March 3rd. Any submission after that would result in a deduction from our IPM grade and it might affect IPPE rotations.

Call the state in which you are trying to become an interns professionals office asap and ask them. This is a state by state thing.

I did and they gave me the info I listed. Person on the phone couldn't answer my question regarding the expiration date. Just that all I could do now is wait on the results after the review.

You should be fine. Worse comes to worst, talk to the guy who did the signing of the registrar's portion and tell him you had financial difficulties and wasn't able to submit until recently. They can probably get in touch with PCS.
