Address change during the application process? feasible?

[maroast]

Hello! I’m new here and I have a question/ concern about getting my CHL. I just moved back to Texas and I finally have the resources to get my CHL, but there’s one problem though….the lease with my apartment complex is up at the end of October , and my GF and I will be moving to a new location (staying here is not an option as it is a hole).

My question is: will I have to wait until I have my new address (and change over my drivers ID) until I submit my CHL application? I know all of this material is highly address sensitive. I don’t want to wait until November to submit my application…and then have to wait up to 6 months to get the CHL…for a total 8-9 months.

I was planning on taking my CHL class this Friday because I though the wait time was going to be no longer than 60 days…then I was going to pony up the $25 for the address change right when I moved. But all of the reading I have been doing over the past several days points more towards 6 months!! This would put my address change right smack dab in the middle of the application process. Is this feasible? Or will it totally disrupt my application?

WHAT TO DO?!?!?! Any input would be great, thanks a lot.

The long wait is even more reason to apply as soon as you can.

Then notify them when you move. Pay $25 if they already issued the license. Pay $0 if they haven't issued yet.

That happened to me. I moved and got to do the $0 move form because it hadn't been issued yet. No problems at all - go ahead and apply.

Yeah, I called them today (and got through to someone in 10min!!!)...They said it was fine and I can go ahead and apply. Thanks guys.
