Im currently a college student living 9 months out of the year in Virginia and I plan on finally getting my FID application in when I get home for Christmas break. As far as I've heard my town is pretty fast about getting these things turned around but I obviously have to be ready for it to take much longer than the month I will be home for. My one concern is that if all the paperwork comes back and they tell me I can pick up my ID after I have already gone back to school. Are they willing to mail it out or will I have to wait until this summer to finally pick it up?

 

 

It would be easier to ask the administrator when you p/u your application - no?

 

If I remember that far back, I think you have to sign for it, but if you ask nicely to

the admin. I would think they would hold it in your file till you return on spring break

but every township handles this things differently.

 

That is why it is better to ask them then us..............................

When I picked mine up a couple of years ago I had to sign it and put my fingerprint on it so I'd say no they wont mail it to you. Either talk to them ahead of time or when it's ready for pickup, just say you're out of state on vacation or something and ask if they would hold it for you.

Doesn't hurt to ask. A good number of the people handling these things are pretty cool about it. There is, however, that one person that will tell you to wait until summer.
