Renewal

I understand that after a specific number of renewals we are not required to attend the class to apply for renewal.
Is this correct? What is the criteria for this to apply? The on-line application does not seem to reflect this anywhere.
Has anyone gone through the procedure yet that could speak from experience?
I don't mind taking the class again if it is a requirement, but see no reason not to take advantage of what is offered.

Answered my own question. An email to the nice folks at DPS got a reply that since this is my 4th trip I do not have to submit a CHL-100 form. They also offer alternative of not submitting a new photo and fingerprints, but if the ones they have on file do not pass muster, you will have to send new ones and that will delay processing. I expect I will see if I can make a trip to L1 since DPS will not accept anything except electronic prints anymore.
Charles et al, you can delete this thread if you feel appropriate.

Interesting note, the digital fingerprints allow a significant reduction in processing time and have reduced fingerprint rejections by a huge amount (90% or more).
