Confusion would be an absolute! I would just sit tight and they will more than likely be able to work it out. The delay of sending it to the wrong address should only be a couple days. I know it's difficult to be patient when it comes to something like this, but there is no other alternative.

Why are there two different addresses and why do the instructors not know this?

I would think most instructors are aware of this…at least I am. I don't even give out paper applications in my class anymore because of the ease and increased efficiency of the online application. However, I can see this being an issue in rural areas.

I do provide them with a large blank envelope for the materials they take from class. Some use it to mail their materials to DPS and I make sure I instruct them to use the address that is printed on their online application receipt.

Well hopefully it won't take them two weeks to get things to right department and get everything sorted out.

A couple weeks sounds like a long time. Did you mail it return receipt or with tracking?

We all know how government works. That being said, the way I had the two addresses explained to me is this.

The address you mailed your packet to is the address that accepts payments by mail and then send the rest of your material to the next department.

The address you should have sent it to is the department that receives your material after the first department takes out the payment.

So, if I remember correctly and / or was told correctly, your application may be delayed a couple days as it went to the department that you should have bypassed. They will realize the error and forward it to the correct department.

Anyone else have a thought on this?

You can always call and explain your error….maybe they will have a more detailed answer for you. The number is 512-424-7293.
