Lifetime LTCH

[Booshie]

Good deal, I'm putting in for mine the day I turn 18. I've got to wait a little over a month.

I was recommended by local LEO to make copies just in case.

Fingerprints last week, background check friday, paid locals monday, permit in mail today!
From what I have read, it would be a while.
Anybody know where you can get good lamination done around lafayette?
Thanks

Glad to hear.
I take it you just renewed and it wasn't a new license. The renewals always seem to have a significantly quicker turn around.

I'd caution you on making copies though.
If you're caught with copies, as if you had copies of your drivers license made, there could be complications.

Stay safe

No, this was a 1st time permit. I was really surprised to see it in the mail that fast.
I think I will just go get the original laminated somewhere & if I ever need a new one I'll just fork out $20. Better safe than sorry

Thanks everybody for all the reponses on this

I took mine years ago to Kinkos 96th Street in Fishers, girl behind the counter said "Sir we are not supposed to copy them". Fine I said do you have a couple of sheets of pinko kinko paper I could buy......................she then looked around and asked me how many copies I wanted. Five I said.
POP GUNS indoor range laminated the copy I presented to them for $2.00, the others I did at work (We have a lamination machine and I used scrap they were about to through away). Original in my wallet, one copy on my vehicle visor, one copy in my Center of Mass clamshell safe, one in the pocket of my harly ever worn belly bag, one copy in my range bag, and copy in the pocket of a camera bag I sometimes put me G-27 in. Never had to produce one, but have three in my car as we speak, (Visor/safe/wallet).

My daughter just got hers wednsday and I told her to go get 5-6 copies. She is only 22, long number of years (at least sixty I hope) for her to abide by the 2nd Amd and LTCH).

I guess now you can pay an extra ten dollars and get it in a couple of days. Might be worth it ,because it took me almost four months to get mine.

.... Bought my lamination material at Wally World and did them my self. YMMV

...exactly what I did -- buy the lamination sheets and double cover the original and cut them down to fit in your wallet. Works perf and is very affordable.

received my brand new application and license with a turn around time of 3.5 weeks. mid-December to the 10th of January.

I didn't even pay the $10

I disagree. Your DL is a form of official ID. Your LTCH is not an ID and cannot be used as such.

My 18 year old daughter got hers in less than 2 weeks. I took it to Staples by Kmart to get laminated and it was only a $1.59.

True the LTCH is not an official ID.
Granted most police officers aren’t going to know one pink paper from another, but if they find two identical on a person or in a car there could be difficulties. But what is to prevent one of the very small percentage of LTCH holders who have their LTCH taken away due to their own actions from going home, getting a copy of now invalid permit and carrying with it?
That’s all I was saying.
I find it easier to just keep the laminated LTCH attached to my driver’s license with a single piece of tape so its with me all time.
Stay safe

What cop is going to worry if someone has copies, especially since you can pay $20 and get another anytime you want? What's keeping any regular criminal from carrying without a LTCH?

A local cop has no authority to keep your LTCH. If they believe you should be suspended or revoked they submit a report to the ISP. The ISP then sends you a certified letter telling you to surrender your license.
Only the issuing authority can take your LTCH and that is the ISP.

Oh, if you pay the $20 to the ISP it is stamped "duplicate" right on it.

well.. I put mine in the mail on 1-27-12. Haven't got anything as of yet..

 

[BiscuitNaBasket]

Before you laminate it....and sign it, try to find some pink/red paper that matches the color, and make yourself 5 or so copies. Then go to Kinko's, sign them all, and have them laminated.

Then, if you ever lose one....you have backups.

Kinko's/Fedex on SR 26 East.....just past the Home Depot area....on North side of the road. That's where i got mine done.

I tried to do this at FedEx Kinkos the day I received my LTCH. They said that they are not allowed to. I had printed two copies on white paper and put them in safe places.

 

[madgeo]

I am going to do the same thing and make copies.

 

[Glock19]

Actually its ILLEGAL to use copies as your LTCH. The law states you can only carry when you have the LTCH that was issued to you. Not a copy...learned the hard way....Even on pink paper...
