Don´t get into a twist about the change of address. It is no different than your drivers license. As long as you SUBMIT the change to DPS within the time frame designated by law, you will be fine. Change it at the same time you change your DL. You will have a PAPER drivers license with your new address which would show any law enforcement officer that you just moved.

Three days since they approved my application and still no plastic. Seems like everyone got theirs the very next day. Is something wrong?

I mean, 5 months down the road or whenever you move, IF you do a change of address as you should then there will be a timeframe where your address on your licenses will not match your physical address where you are now residing. That is the 'changeover' to which I was refering. Sorry about that, I knew what I meant .

Or should I just keep the address the same as is since I'm not selling the current home?

Check their webpage, it can be done online. Pretty quick and painless actually. However, if during the changeover, you have to show to a LEO they may "sternly" tell you to 'get it corrected ASAP' even if you tell them you're working on it.[/quote]

What do you mean by changeover? like if I changed address while the application is ongoing? I assume that shouldn't be a problem now since I already got approved and my address won't change for another 5 months?

Called today. After a 30 min hold, the lady tells me that it's approved yesterday! No status change yet but should receive the hardware anytime now. I'm passing the hot seat to someone else!
