Likewise, it is equally as important to ensure that your licence is fully up to date with payments as, if there is a debit amount outstanding on your licence account for 2010 or earlier, you will not receive any invoice, neither will a licence document be printed for 2011. Check your licence details personally, don’t leave it up to a third party, and if necessary sort out any address/payment-related problems which may have been overlooked until now.
I join Chris in welcoming you to avcom.
I understand the logistical challenges resulting from a 31/12 licence year, and I'm sure most can live with your solution.
What I do not buy into, however, is the statement above. This is simply "making your problem my problem". All businesses should be capable of sending customer invoices AND statements of account. Not ICASA, it seems. All businesses should be capable of verifying customer addresses (you should primarily be getting aircraft owner details from SACAA). Yet you wash your hands of the "bad data" problem and pass this on to us. Why ?
