2. This license supersedes the domestic license, so in your account you will notice that your domestic license is now expired, that is by design as your UCI/International license can be used for all racing here in the United States. 
3. No matter when you upgrade to the UCI/International license, this license will expire on 12/31 of the current calendar year.
