Thank you both very much for your quick assistance! I'm glad to be a member of the forum.

Thanks for your help! I have one more question. Now that I have the driving record and an idea of the dates involved I contact the County Clerk and ask for certified copies of the charges and convictions, is that right?

I am looking at getting my CHL and I'm confused by some of the language in the eligibility requirements. I pay child support and have for 12 years now but there was a time when I was out of work and I fell behind on my payments. I'm all caught up now and have been for years but I don't know what "has not been finally determined to be delinquent in making a child support payment administered or collected by the attorney general" means. Can anyone help me with this?

Also, in my youth I got two DWI's. One sometime around 1980 or 1981 and the other in 1985 or 1986. Problem is I don't recall with certainty when they actually occurred. It may seem strange that I don't know when they happened but we are talking about 30 years ago or more. It's ancient history that I just don't keep up with. How can I find out what to put on the criminal history form?

One last question. It seems that people on here generally apply for the CHL first and then take the class. Is that the normal order of things or should I go ahead and take the class first and then submit my application?

I will be grateful for any and all help. Thanks!
