How DROP runner handles it
DROP runner runs your California deletion cycle every 45 days. Its calendar also carries every state registry you tick: the first-cycle deadline where a registry is new, the renewal date each year (on your own anniversary where the state works that way), the fee, and a link to the official place to file. Reminders arrive 45, 30, 14, 7 and 1 days ahead. You file and pay yourself.
Other states: California, Oregon, Texas, Vermont. Information from the state's own published rules; not legal advice.
