...you'd win that bet if you're talking about Idaho...and that change of address changes the Idaho resident's license to a non-resident's and the license will remain valid until expiration...the CHL lady at the SO didn't know the grace period, since it's handled through the DLic Bureau there, but she said after a year and a half...it's not going to be called valid till it's changed...and it's not written in the CHL law...it's a matter of administration policy...not posted anywhere...

I will tell you that any state that issues a non-resident license will require that the address match your current dirvers license, even if not specifically stated in the laws. Legal or not, it will be in anyone's best interest if ALL of their licenses and permits match their legal address of permanent record.

Re: Idaho CHL valid in Texas?
It looks like the eligibility rules dont say he has to be a resident and it's good until it expires. He has the same requirement to update his address whether he moved to Texas or moved within Idaho, so no difference there for a Texas resident either.speedsix wrote:...while in his car, he IS carrying under MPA...
...I wonder how long Idaho CHL is good in Idaho's eyes once you're a Texas resident, being the eligibility rules probably say you have to be a resident...
All the arguing sounds like a tempest in a teacup.

...I agree with this part: "All the arguing sounds like a tempest in a teacup."
...as to the rest of the post( in order to be accurate), the S O person who issues the CWL says that since he's been in Texas over a year and a half and hasn't changed his address to his Texas address,( which will turn it into a valid non-resident license)...Idaho considers it an invalid license...he doesn't live in Idaho... until he goes through the Dr. Lic. bureau and gives them his Texas address...after he does that, they'll report it valid to Texas if Tx checks on it...and it'll be good until it expires... here and in Idaho...
...this isn't covered in the eligibility rules or any other place online...it's an administrative policy and can only be learned by talking to their office...on weekdays...

...not surprising...seems like common sense that where you live is just as important for IDs as who you are...however, especially during the current administration, common sense's in rather short supply...what'd we miss for lunch???

I knew there was a reason I liked Utah and Florida licenses. You can notify them of address changes electronically (email and webpage, respectively) without paying a fee.
