How to change address on LTCH

[acase20]

I was told that you had to do it online, and I was also told to do it in the local police station. Can anyone help me with this?

From the INGO FAQ:

What happens if I move?
You need to inform the Indiana State Police within 60 days of your address change. They won't send you a new license with your new address unless you also pay $20 for a new copy. Your old license will still be valid, provided you've notified the ISP of your address change. Here's a link to the form:
http://forms.in.gov/Download.aspx?id=6643 (it's a PDF, but at this time it doesn't seem to download as one. Just open it with your favorite PDF reader.)
Or call the Indiana State Police Firearms Licensing Section at 317-232-8264.

How will I know that my address has been updated?
You won't. The ISP just updates their database. They will not notify you that they have done so, but you are free to call the Firearms Licensing Section to verify your address on file. You might as well just go ahead and spend the $20 on a new license at the time you update your address so you'll not only get a freshly-minted license (with your new address), but it will also serve as your notification that they've updated their records.

I may be wrong but I belive you have to do it in writing, within 60days of the move. So im assuming you have to mail them a letter. May have a few of the more knowing members reply, but im thinking thats what has to be done

Welcome to INGO. My post was a little inside joke we have around here. Also, any time you see text in purple, it means it's dripping with sarcasm.

Well apparently you can be arrested. I was pulled over today and had forgot ( I had My .45 in the glove box so I had to tell the police officer about it because my registration is in there) to change mine in time he told me to take it home and to not let him catch me with it again until it was fixed or I was going to jail

You didn't have it on you, or you TOLD the LEO the address was wrong on it?

The address doesnt legally have to be correct ON the LTCH, but it has to be correct in the system, so I am kinda confused as to what happened here..

Correct. When changing address you must submit, in writing, by letter or fax that you have changed addresses. They will then change it in the system...but the change is not required on your license. They will offer to send you a new one (for $20 last i checked) but they will tell you its not nessacery.

My drivers licence was different so it didnt take him long to notice the change.

doesn't have to be the same. as long as the address is changed in the system you are good to go.
now the question is, can LEO find the address on LTCH in the system?

Unless it has changed, this IS correct.

I decided that $20 for a new copy (actually $40 since I did my wife's too) was well worth it when we moved. Yeah, you don't have to have a match, but as the earlier posts stated, having the DL and LTCH match means a lot less trouble if you do get pulled over.

When I moved, I filled out, and mailed the form, along with $20 to get a new license, the last week of July, and I still haven't gotten the new one. Should I be calling someone, or just be patient?

..but as stated above, it doesnt have to match, legally.
