Side note:

If you want an ID card in the next batch, you are almost out of time to apply.

I had already passed the Civics Test once, but I can't find the link for applying for a card. What should I do?

I will send you the link via PM.

The Civics Test I set up is here.  If you take the Civics Test, you will receive a link at the end directing you to the ID Card form.

Right now, I see six applications since the last time I issued cards.  When I get a chance, I will get started on the process.  I completely understand that people are eager, and it's great!  But please be patient.  I will keep everyone updated on the timeframe, but here's my current plan:

• Validate all tests.  I have to check to make sure everyone got the required score and that they're all current citizens.  This will take very little time, and I will do that tonight.
• Validate info.  I have to make sure that I have all required information.  Technically I could just reject applications that were not following directions, but I usually reach out in private to fix the application, instead.  Last time, a third of all applications needed fixing.
• Process the cards.  Most of this is automated, but the profile and signature images need to be done manually.  This usually only takes me five to ten minutes apiece.
• Printing.  This takes up to two weeks, although it might be less time since it's already been set once.
• Mailing.  Fairly variable, but I'm in the continental United States, so you can do your own reckoning

I'll be getting started tonight -- my apologies to anyone who had to wait.

No it's okay, you do you

@Baron Alexandreu Davinescu I have sent you my details via PM. Does that count?

[Baron Alexandreu Davinescu]

Yes, you're good. I probably should have added you to the official list, but I have a note in my file to remind me about you from when we last talked.

The only problem application right now is Txec's, since I'm sure there's some law about me issuing multiple IDs so quickly, especially when his explicit purpose is "to commit crimes and stuff." Also these pictures he sent in are wildly inappropriate.

Which Txec are you talking about? It certainly isn't me!

[Baron Alexandreu Davinescu]

I understand. 😉

Quick update: out of fourteen applicants, seven have been verified as actual citizens passing the test with at least the minimum 70%.  Others either failed to ever take the test, failed to pass the test, or failed at being citizens (the worst failure of all).

I have also checked all the verified applications at this time, and even though some of these things are "signatures" in only the most technical sense, most people had everything in order.  Those people who were missing things have been individually contacted.  I will wait a maximum of three days before proceeding, unless those involved wish to pay my bribe.  (And I'm a member of the landed nobility, so that's a steep price.)

Probably we'll go to the printer's by the week's end, since I feel guilty for not attending to this earlier.

EDIT: If you want to know if your application is all set, shoot me a PM.  It's illegal to even disclose that you applied (since it's personal information held by the government) but I can confirm to you.

@Baron Alexandreu Davinescu, when would ID cars approx. arrive via overseas shipping, e.g. Germany, where I live?

[Baron Alexandreu Davinescu]

I do not know how long it usually takes mail to travel from the continental United States to Germany. I always use the cheapest postage, though, so I would imagine it would take a couple of weeks maybe?

[Mic’haglh Autófil, O.Be]

If I recall correctly, Miestra got hers in about two weeks from date of mailing, and that's a significantly longer trip than Germany.

Let's hope DHL doesn't ship it because when my card arrives while I'm at school, they'll just leave a note telling to pick it up at a designated postal office.

1) Why is that an issue? I've had that happen to me a bunch of times and it's not that big a deal.
2) If the package is flat enough to fit through a mailbox slot (as I expect it will be), chances are they will just put it in your mailbox. That's what happened to me when I ordered playing cards online.

I'm not a big fan of DHL anyway
