Why A is correct
Va. Code § 38.2-1868.1 establishes that Virginia resident individual producer licenses and continuing education compliance run on a biennial cycle keyed to the producer's birth month, with the renewal falling in the birth year that matches the producer's odd/even birth-year cycle. A producer born in an odd-numbered year therefore renews in the birth month of odd-numbered years. This birth-month anchoring spreads renewal volume across the calendar instead of bunching it on issuance anniversaries.
Why the other options are wrong
- B) Virginia renewals are biennial, not annual; the cycle runs every 2 years on the birth-month schedule.
- C) The anniversary of licensure plays no role; the odd/even birth-year cycle and birth month control the timing under Va. Code § 38.2-1868.1.
- D) Continuing education completion is tracked on the same biennial schedule, but it does not float the renewal date; the birth-month anchor is fixed.
Memory hook
Renew on your birthday, every other year — odd or even decides which birthday.
