Instructors must re-qualify every 2 years, so I guess that puts my tally up to renewal skoool #6 this August. How time flies when havin' fun ...

Renewed in December 2006 and have been carrying once again since February 2007.

Now I'm wondering how many people on this forum have a CHL number between 00000001 and 00005000?

Hadn't considered that they are sequentially numbered. I've renewed once and have a number over 1.5 million.

Sorry John, I meant to say that instructors license numbers began with zeroes and count up sequentially. I can't remember where normal CHL licenses began.

I've got the numbers that I was assigned to hand out filed away at home. I'll have to check how they are numbered.

I doubt they are sequential. My wife got her's a year after I did and has a much lower number.

They're sequential to some extent although I don't know what because my wife and I took the class together and submitted at the same time. Her # is one (1) less than mine. Hers ending w/ 34 mine w/ 35.

Doesn't it have something to do with when you ask for your packet? I think it is assigned then, but I could be wrong. If that is the case it wouldn't matter when you took the course your number would have been issued with the application. I am not sure on this though.

I am going on my third renewal.

I was told (and this was hersay) they are issued with a code at the beginning of the number.......based on zip, and district within the zip, then the actual license number.

And again,...if I remember right,... the number is assigned with the packet.

Mine starts with 0903. The Lubbock Zip where I got my packet was 79413.

The number at the end of mine is in the 5000's and was one of the first packets to arrive in Lubbock in 95.

anyone from a different zip care to check their beginning number and see if this "coding by location" holds true.

I dug out my copy of my original application. The number on my license is identical to the number on the application w/ a "0" added to the front.
