DL Renewal

[dreamer]

My CDL has has-mat endorsement, which entails TSA background check and fingerprints, School bus endorsement with a different background check and fingerprints,
Concealed carry yet a different agency for fingerprints, yet it isn't a "real id".

I just renewed my Tennessee drivers license on the Internet. If I wanted a "real ID" I would have had to go to the DMV in person but I don't need a real ID since I have a passport. I'm not paying them any extra money for something I don't need.

I was glad to see that I was able to take the gun class for my Tennessee CCW permit on the Internet instead of having to take another gun class in person like I did in order to get my Florida permit. They started that on January 1st this year.

In Alabama you don't have to go through any of that BS for a CCW permit. You just apply for it and then go pay them $20 for one year or $100 for 5 years and then they hand the permit to you through the clerks window while you're standing there instead of waiting for 3 months for them to mail it to you.

It would be a lot easier to just be a criminal and not worry about any of that crap.

IN Florida, the Money for a CCW Permit is paid and handled through the Dept of Agriculture; The Fla State legislature were astounded to discover that the way the CCW permit law is written that THEY can NOT lay their greedy hands upon ALL that cash as it is restricted to covering the expenses of CCW permits.

I'm happy that Colorado does not require a birth certificate to renew a DL. I am now over 90 years old and have had a DL here since 1958. I have never had a birth certificate and until 1949 I had never even heard of one.

I was born in the Indian Nation in about 1930, then orphaned in 1939 by losing my Indian mother and Caucasian father in Idaho. When I enlisted in1949 the Army recruiter asked me for a birth certificate. When I told he that I didn't know what that was, he told me "we will let the army figure it out".

Have they ever gotten back to you so you know they completed the investigation? :wink:

You can never tell what the Army will do. :roll:

Some guy probably worked his way up to Colonel making that investigation his life's work.

Don't worry Will. You've been around here long enough, we'll take your word that you were born no matter what the Army says.

Just to clear the question.

I never heard anything about any birth certificate from anyone after I enlisted in 1949 and got to Lackland AFB. I told the soldier (when I enlisted I didn't know a private from a general) that I was 19 since I had been told as a child that I was born in 1930, and the army must have taken that as enough. I was just a young working cowboy then and I don't remember anyone in or before 1949 that had ever even asked my how old I was. I have never tried to get a birth certificate since I have never needed one. So I don't know if there ever was one.

I'm not sure that the military is actually much concerned anyway. When I got back from Korea and out of Madigan Army Hospital in 1953, and sent to Fairchild AFB, my Squadron First Sargent, a veteran of WW-II, told us once that he had enlisted when he was only 16 and the Army never knew it or didn't care. He had been a M/Sgt in 1941, on Gen MacArthur's staff and was a prisoner of the Japanese when they took Corregidor.

Something else you might not have heard is someone saying "Thank you for your service Will". Well, now you've heard it.

Thank you for your service Will.

I’ve had to have my birth certificate for a USCG license from age 19 and a Twic card after 9/11. All 10 fingers finger printed with a signed oath. Now I need a Real ID I did asked the lady at the DMV what a real ID was 4 weeks ago. She took the time to explain I’m age 60 and believe I’ve been ID’ enough but will not be able to fly after October which as I’ve stated I don’t fly if I can avoid it.

Renewed my Twic Card last year which mainly has been useless except to enter gates where I work. I don’t fly but some of my crew do and report TSA will not accept a Twic card as ID which is a government ID, my masters license merchant mariners USCG/ DOT issued doesn’t get me past TSA. I’ve avoided getting a passport in the offchance it will keep me from having to work out of another country flying out of New Orleans to Guyana or somewhere in Africa or the Mideast is not something I want to do.

Made an appointment, showed up with necessary paperwork. Was given a number. When called it took about 7 minutes to complete. Less that 30 minutes from when I walked in and I was through.

Thanks for your service Will.

When the military gets finished checking out Will and possibly decides to deport him where will they send him? Back to Indian country?

That was my experience almost exactly. It took longer to get a replacement tag for by boat trailer that had been stolen.
