Inaccurate info on CHP

Post by Jfost11 »

I recently received my CHP. When I filled out the application, I listed my height in inches. Being 5' 8", I put 68". You've probably already guessed that when my permit arrived, it had my height listed as 6' 08" (along with a weight of 150 lbs giving me a figure like Olive Oil from Popeye). Is this something I should have corrected or should I not even worry about it?

Seems like a good question to ask the circuit clerk. Give the courthouse a call and see what the Clerk has to say about it.

Personally, I would probably not worry about it, but then I have landed in hot water before by not worrying about something :roll:

That seems to me like something you should get corrected. When I got mine renewed this last time, the clerk misspelled my middle name by one letter. I asked if this would be a big deal if I was ever stopped and was told that it would better just to get it right, just in case... they got me a corrected one right away. I would imagine that getting your physical description correct (well, except for weight... everyone fibs about their weight, right?) would be just as important.

Just bring it back to the Clerk's Office and they'll correct it. You want to have the correct info on that.

Thanks for the input. The clerk just told me to come in with it so they can correct it.
