I have a student attempting to apply who is a U. S. citizen and lives local to me, but was born outside the U. S. when his father was deployed with the military. He claims that on the application there is no opportunity in all of the drop-down menus talking about place of birth to select anything other than a U. S. state.
I advised him to go "old school" and fill out the application on paper since the on-line version was not letting him complete it accurately. I also advised him to include proof of citizenship.
Does anyone know if there is a way for him to apply electronically since his place of birth is outside the U. S.?

Let him do it on paper and as an instructor call DPS and request software update for TLC Student born outside the US.

Re: Student Applicant Foreign Born U.S. Citizen
I applied electronically back in 2007, and I am the foreign born son of a native born American citizen father. He'll have to apply like everyone else does. At some point, he'll get a letter from DPS asking for proof of citizenship. I sent them a photocopy of my Certificate of Live Birth signed by the US Consul in Casablanca, and that was sufficient. They will suspend his application process until they receive his documentation. Once they get it, they will continue processing his application. However long his app would have taken, add however long it takes for him to receive the letter, send them the documentation, and for them to receive it and review it.......say another 10-15 days.kg5ie wrote:I have a student attempting to apply who is a U.
