Anyways- I waited for what felt like 2 hours when I went. Biggest PIA. Now I have 2 names because I haven't converted everything over. I just got my new driver's license and I forget to sign papers in my NEW name. Argh- the pain us women always have to go through.
Well if you go in to the office you have to prove identity, so the guy on the phone said I'd have to prove it by mail too. He was a troll though so I'm going to call like 2 more times and see what other reps say...lol

Exactly! Plus if they think someone could steal and photocopy my ID, they could also just steal and send in my card...duh!

Dang it...they'll just have to put it on my tab because my year is up in a little over a month and I know I won't get to that!

eh - i did the same thing a few weeks ago, i needed to travel under my maiden name so i just used my passport (which i haven't changed yet!). not really a big deal as long as it matches whatever name you're traveling with! so as long as you book under the name that matches your passport, you're golden!

yes - it's $75 still - i am filling out the online app. now and will mail it in beofre June 8th ... they actually make it quite easy!
