Noob question, can FID be laminated

Featured Replies

I was wondering if firearms I'd card can be laminated of if that invalidates it in some way. My cards get beat up fast in my wallet.

I've had mine laminated a couple of times(first lamination started peeling). 

 

A couple of gun shops I've been to actually laminate them for you for free. 

No issues here... My local PD actually told me to do it since they're easily beaten up.

 

Rick over at OMG was nice enough to do it for me when I picked up my last transfer.

My local PD gave me the laminate sheets so I could do it!

yes my pd laminated mine when i picked it up

just dont laminate your SS card... that you have to hold onto.... forever... lol

The gun store laminated mine.

 

They asked if I wanted the card laminated, so I said "sure" as long its free.

Had mine laminated at Office Depot. It makes the card a little larger, but the FID is all ready bigger than a standard card (like a driver's license).

Yes, Staples heavy laminate, <$2.

Yes, local PD strongly advised to do so. 

I trimmed mine first (only empty sides), than laminated it.

Did mine twice since '79 myself, never had a problem!

Strangely enough my town told my wife not to laminate years ago when she did the address change.. This year when I got mine they suggested I get it laminated.. For the most part laminating is fine unless they specifically tell you not to

mine is currently laminated, how about folding it in half so it fits in a GD wallet! God forbid they designed it the same size as a regular card!

Thumbs up to Berkeley. Mine was issued already laminated.

Thanks for the feedback.

 

I bought normal card size self adhesive laminate last night that was too small. I'll try again. My father was in the security business before he retired (cc tv, alarms, key cards). He has every imaginable cardholder but none big enough to hold fid so laminating seems best.

Mine has no such prohibition and therefore is laminated.

yes my pd laminated mine when i picked it up

 

Me too.

Yes. Mine has been laminated for almost 15 years.

Caso's laminated mine when i bought my first gun

So, to those that have received their card laminated, are they wallet size?

Yes, here are a few shots.  I now put my card behind my drivers license and it fits fine.

Mines like almost 30 years old.  I don't remember who laminated it, but it's been laminated for at least 25 of those years, lol!

 

My "yellow card" actually says, "purchase and carry" for long guns, so it's a collector's item, lol!

Mine was laminated by the gun shop where I bought my first rifle.

Yes, here are a few shots.  I now put my card behind my drivers license and it fits fine.

That's a wallet? :) Mine's about an inch & a quarter thick!
