New LTCH Cards

[=Josh=]

I'm in the process of getting my LTCH. According to the ISP website, it looks like they issue plastic cards instead of pink pieces of paper. Can anyone confirm this is the case? If it is, would it still be suggested/recommended to make a copy of it?

I would rather keep my original in a locked safe at home when I receive it and carry around copies in case they are lost/stolen, but it looks like the new cards make that a moot point. Perhaps we don't have any other option but to pay the $20 for additional cards?

Yes the new cards are plastic like a credit card/drivers license. I don't see a point in getting an extra unless you just want the peace of mind.

Why do you want additional cards? Wait until you NEED a new one to buy a new one.

In order of preference:
1. Keep a photocopy in the safe and carry the original.
2. Keep the original in the safe and carry a photocopy.
3. Keep the original in the safe and carry nothing.


All options are legal.

Question, if I already have my LTCH(pink paper), what would I need to do to get one of these more durable plastic card?

Go to ISP's website and request a replacement.

IMO they are not worth it...They still don't have your picture on it. Just a glorified piece of paper. I have 6 copies of my original. One in my wallet, one in my tackle box, one in each vehicle, and spares in with my gun stuff.

I take pics of all my wallet carry docs and store them in the cloud. If anything or everything is lost or stolen I have a copy. A digital (and printable) copy that I can actually show officer friendly if there is any sort of Internet access available. My phone, their phone, on board computer, etc.

Ok, cool with me.

Some of us would prefer to not have our picture on it. Ideally, I should not even have to have one. Let's see if that gets changed next year.

I'm all for the no picture. I did get a plastic one, cost me a sawbuck as I recall. Also it has "Duplicate" printed right on it, which I don't like but I that's accurate. I leave the pretty pink paper at home and tote around the pretty pink plastic.

I had my pink paper laminated when I got it. I prefer that to another "thick/stiff" piece of plastic in the wallet.

ISP had a booth at last Indy1500 show to make it easy getting the new card,you got online and paid there. they were very busy,mine is in the mail ,or just go online to ISP website .

I would like my picture on it...that way I can show the Buffalo Wild Wings server my Larry so I can get a beer.

I'd prefer to not have one at all. Just my opinion, I'm sure there are a ton of people on here that agree with me.

 

[9mmfan]

I got one just because. That is all.

 

[SchwansManDan]

Mine is plastic, about the same size as my drivers license. Not sure if it's because I got the lifetime permit or if they are all like that now.

 

[HoughMade]

I got the new plastic card right after I moved and they became available last year. Had to update my address anyway.

(wait for it)

I laminated my pink one when I got it, but it has been in my wallet so long it is starting to come apart. I just requested a duplicate "card" just for the durability of it. It costs $21.42 in total. Someone told me that you could only do it online if you already had your original "application" number handy. That is not the case, you can create a login and it will give you your application number after you enter your license number. Once it gives you that application number, you use it as your login for future use.

I am one for sure!

But the main reason for my chiming is is that I don't believe in throwing away hard earned cash. If ISP wants me to have a plastic pink slip they will gige me a FREE replacement. I don't have to carry it but I do incase I am stopped in another State. My laminated one will last a lifetime.

Well here it is, you as a lawyer know full well that it is not required by IC to buy a replacement when you change your address, only inform the ISP.

Your post would imply to the unICed that they must spend 21.42 whenever they move. Whereas you can get a box of hollow points for close to the same price.
