How much trouble is this?

[Scout]

I was reading old threads, and the one where a wallet was lost and the owners house was apparently being cased came up. My LTCH has my address from 5 years ago on it. I've moved twice since then, but haven't updated my address with ISP to the latest address. How wrong would it be to have a replacement Larry mailed to me with my old address (I rented) and a week later update my address to the new one? The reason is my mom's address is on my license, and I don't want to give anyone a reason to break in should I lose my wallet.


There's a flaw in this plan, some of my mail is currently being forwarded still, but I wonder if the new license would be forwarded. I wonder if they would mail it to my mom's house and I could pick it up there?

I figure that I shouldn't get in trouble since I'm not required to get a replacement when I move, I'm only required to notify ISP of the new address.

Delete this and update your address NOW.

or maybe I'm not understanding your question here. Your LTCH does not have to display your current address.

When I moved a few years ago I just sent an email and called ISP. They said to send in for a new license asap but have something on you like your drivers license on you to prove current address and you SHOULD be fine. Its always better to play it safe. Call ISP and see what thy say.

Within 60 days after moving you are required to update your address on a replacement LTCH. Where does it state otherwise?

Within 60 days after moving you are required to update your address on a replacement LTCH.

That's not what it says. It says right on the license: "You are REQUIRED BY LAW to notify the State Police, in writing, within 60 days of a change of name and/or address."

Nowhere does it say you must obtain a replacement license. If you want a replacement license, there is a $20 fee.

Within 60 days after moving you are required to update your address on a replacement LTCH. Where does it state otherwise?

On the form you send in to notify of address change. You can either inform of your new address without receiving a new license at no charge or receive a new license with updated address for 20 bucks. So you are required to do it in 60 days but not necessarily with an updated license. Also to the op you can just fax the form in if you are doing the free option. I would suggest doing one or the other immediately.

Chezuki beat me to it. Slow typing on my iPhone.

I thought you had to update upon moving. This is a serious thing dont want anyone to get in trouble and this would be one way to get into trouble.

The point is to not have my current address on it in case I lose my wallet. I know I have to inform of the move.

 

[Yup!]

Ok ok ill say it - that's silly.

Are you going to move every time you renew it?

I was going to delete this because some of you don't get it, but I think I'll leave it just for the entertainment.

Do you deliberately keep the incorrect address on your drivers license as well, or is it kept in a different wallet?

Best options to avoid someone getting your address from your LTCH:

1. Don't lose your wallet.
2. Don't carry your LTCH with you (but expect that you may be detained while its existance is verified).

You want your moms house robbed and not yours in case you loose your LTCH....your a great son......

 

[Scout]

Reading comprehension>you. Read it again, I've moved twice since I got my ltch. The license still has my moms address on it. I don't want my address nor my moms address on it, that's why I want one with my former address (ie, after my moms but before my current)
Yes my drivers license has my current address on it.


"Don't lose your wallet" sounds great in theory, but ill bet there are a few dozen here who have lost or misplaced their wallet at some time.

WALLET!!!!! NOOOOO!!!!!!!

Wallet just wants to be free. You can't contain him.


On a serious note: I would be more worried about your debit and credit cards getting cleaned out than any problems via your LTCH.

Chain wallet.

Is there an address on your drivers license? Is it also in the wallet that could be lost?

 

[Dirtebiker]

Never mind, posted before reading the whole thread.

To make sure I understand. You want to keep an old address on your LTCH so that if you lose your wallet/LTCH a crook doesn't come to your residence looking for guns. Instead you would have them go to your old address where someone else is probably living and subject them to whatever bad guys intentions are.

Yeah, good thinking.
