CHL Issued--Dated BEFORE Proof of Citizenship provided

This is an update to my earlier thread found here:

Sometime between July 2 and July 9, I received a letter stating that I would need to provide proof of citizenship to get my CHL renewed since I was born out of the country.

I FAXed them a copy of my Birth Certificate on July 10.

Today (29 July) I received my CHL--the issue date on the license is 3 July 2006.

Evidently they had it all ready to mail out but held it up until they got my FAXed Birth Certificate.

Anyway, I took the class on 10 June and sent my package in on the 12th, so I can't complain about the time required to issue my renewal. That's 47 days from the mail package date to the receive license date. It appears that I might have gotten it two to three weeks sooner had they not had the citizenship issue come up.

I was born in Germany. After having to fax my birth certificate to prove I'm not an alien the first time around, I automatically included it with the renewal forms.

My wife still has fun with the alien bit!

I automatically included it with the renewal forms.

If I can remember in five years, I believe I'll take the same approach. They just took me by surprise this time...

Either way, it doesn't seem that there was much delay as a result of the extra requirement. No harm done, I guess.
