Little Problem Here, Some Advice Maybe?

[daveisadork]

A little over a month ago I completed the state mandated training to get my CCW. Only problem was that my state requires you to present your original birth certificate when you apply (even though I had already done that for my driver's license ), so I had to wait until I could get that from my parents, which happened to be over Thanksgiving.

This morning I was getting everything together to hopefully swing by on my lunch break and drop everything off, but when I went to get my folder that had my course completion certificate, something (water, I assume) had leaked onto it and smudged all the text. :banghead: Some of it (including my SSN) is gone completely. There is a carbon copy that is still readable (my instructor has one as well)...

So should I go ahead and take this to the DMV and explain to them what happened, or try to get another copy from the establishment where I took the course?

Call 'Em

Dave,

Give DMV a call, explain the situation, and ask if the water damaged original, a carbon copy, and your birth cert is enough to move forward. One phone call will give you the course of action.

Best of luck,

John

Why didn't I think of that?

Don't be so hard on yourself, you were probably frustated and not thinking clearly as a result.

Just got off the phone with them and I'm going to have to get a new completion certificate. Hopefully they can just fill a new one out for me...

You have to leave your birth certificate with them?

You have to leave your birth certificate with them?

No, just my application and course completion certificate. And then I have to schedule an appointment at the police station to be fingerprinted for my background check. Not sure if I have to take that stuff back to them or not, they're not very concise as to how everything happens...

We have to here in Tennessee, yes. Here's a copy of our application.

Thanks,

In Oregon and Washington there is a place, but it isn't mandatory.

Birth Cert for HCP? I did my application back in April, no need for a birth certificate back then.

Vermont and Alaska handle these matters a lot more smoothly.

Do they by chance take a passport as acceptable ID??

Yes, but I don't have one. Here's the list of acceptable proof of citizenship or legal presence.

Stuck from my email address that I chose in high school, which still makes people chuckle to this day and that can be a much appreciated foot in the door on certain occasions
