Hopefully you have adequate documentation and can take it up with one of the bureaucrats. Good luck dealing with anyone in the government, though.

Maybe they know something you don't...

J/k, I'll be back in a sec with a number for you to call...



Here it is: 317-233-5054 press 0 to speak to a real person and explain your situation politely. They deal with angry calls daily and are much more helpful when you are pleasant.

Even if this was true you'd be grandfathered in or at least recieve a refund for the lifetime. It was a simple error in documentation, if you have proof of how much you paid and proof this is what you applied for, it shouldn't be a problem. Now getting it done in a timely manner won't happen but money is a rare commidity so call someone and get it fixed. I would simply go to the police station where you filed it out and be really nice. Believe it or not the cops want to help you, usually. A 4 year is $75 while a lifetime is $125 so the proof of the amount of your certified money order should help. Good luck

Thanks for all the positive response, I do have proof, I guess Monday its time to make some calls.

Please report back and let us know how it went.

Hopefully in the process of getting it fixed you don't have to temporarily be without one (for whatever reason)

As long as it doesn't take more than 4 years to fix, he should be fine.

The state police are the actual issuer. I would start there.

Good luck with this one. I applied Jan. 28th and still have not received mine. I was told that I was put into the FBI to dig deeper pile. The only thing my wife and I can think of is a name change that I did through the court system in 1991. Still, it put me into the need further information pile which added another 8 - 10 weeks of waiting.

Please repost with the outcome.

So far I have collected all my info and documentation, and called the fort wayne records, they checked and everything was correct own their end. I have emailed as directed by the answering service when calling the ISP. So far i have been unable to get an actual human on the phone. I will keep you posted. In a unrelated topic i was able to find some federal .45acp at walmart in apple glen!

Are you sure you don't have the lifetime? I'm just asking. They are exactly the same, except the expiration date.

Which is non-existent/blank on the lifetime.

 

[smith7.3]

I have an expiration date of 6/24/17.

I have an expiration date of 6/24/17.

Then I guess it's not a lifetime.

Sorry, just thought there was a chance.....

So I got through to a lady about an hour go, she took my license #(from the 4yr), put me on hold for a few minutes. Then came back told me she had corrected the mistake, and was mailing the new lifetime today, and my 4yr was still valid. Score, that was almost too easy!

That was easy! Glad you got it straightened out!
