Nope

No such luck at locating my driver's license and debit card, and now it looks like it may be awhile before I can even get new ones. The debit card should be no problem to replace, the driver's license is a whole nother story.

Normally, I could order a duplicate license online and receive it in the mail within the week. It is a very quick and easy process that I have done many times for the husband and myself either because we moved or the husband needed a duplicate copy of his license. My license doesn't expire for another 20-years. But since my photo "expired" I am required to go to the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) to get an updated license. If I go in person I am required to take identification with me. I checked online to see what I forms would be acceptable:

• A driver's license...nope
• A passport...nope
• A military ID...nope
• A birth certificate...nope

In order to get a copy of my birth certificate I need to mail in a form with a copy of my driver's license, which of course is not going to happen. I do have the option though of getting my signature notarized, but then again I would need ID. It will take approximately 15-20 days for me to receive a copy of my birth certificate. The cost for the certificate is $15.00. Or if I would like to expedite the service I can go with another company that will charge me the $15.00 for the certificate and an additional $30.00 to mail it. There is an option to go in person to pick up the birth certificate but since I was born prior to 1990, that option is not available to me.

I am still keeping the faith that they will show up. Hopefully sooner than later.
