I did my renewal this time last year and sent a copy of my retired ID card. Mine has "Veteran" on it. You did go for the reduced fee, right?
My case is exactly as Schooley has posted. I was discharged within the last year so I paid $0.00 However, I still will have to pay the $25 renewal fee once it comes up. I just thought it was funny my DL has Veteran but my CHL doesn't.
@infantrymac: I had to go to the DPS with my DD214 and they scanned it into the system. From there, I believe they just checked a box that stated I was a veteran and it was printed on my DL.
Hmm might be worth it if it gets brownie points during a traffic stop.
How long does it usually take for the website to reflect anything once you get the email stating your packet has been recieved? Mine still just says allow sufficient time for processing. I know i know. Like i said...im inpatient lol

The online status changes after it gets printed, once you see the status change the plastic will arrive between 4 to 5 days, you should call 2 weeks after you sent your paperwork just to make sure they have everything, call between 6pm and 6:30pm.

That's right. When you log in and see the option to change your address, the check is in the mail.
