I renewed my license recently, and in today's mail I received what I *used* to call a "wallet card," but which BPELSG renamed a "pocket license" at some point. The new one is 3-1/2" x 2-5/8", a size that seems pretty useless -- too big to fit in any conventional wallet space, and since it's made of unremarkable paper it would get destroyed in a day or so if actually carried in a pocket.

I miss the days when they supplied us with a credit-card-size renewal license that was actually made out of plastic rather than paper. But at least the paper versions of recent years would fit in a standard wallet window envelope without having to fold it. You could even laminate it and fit a card slot if you were careful. With the new one you'll have to fold it in half before lamination, at which point it'll only be partially readable without turning it over.

$250 doesn't go very far these days...

interesting.

inadvertently DCA is discouraging having LS ID in our pockets.
I for one did keep mine in my wallet with my DL and credit cards.

at one time there was discussion about "must I carry the wallet card"... don't remember the consensus/rules

as an aside I let my license expire on June 30, 2023 and now I am listed as "delinquent". I objected strongly paying $80 to be listed as retired (same net effect other than the stigma)

I'm designated "Inactive" in the states I no longer practice - no charge.

Jim - did you take the questionnaire for renewal? It is designed around the top ten violation provisions.

I don't recall a questionnaire. Is it available at any time, or just during the renewal process?

It is supposed to be implemented during this renewal cycle - I'll find out when I renew shortly.
