CHP Change of Address Wait Time
« on: August 25, 2015, 02:18:05 PM »
I recently moved and have been going through the process of updating my personal information for all of my accounts, licences, ect. Stopped at the Sarpy County DMV (much friendlier place than Douglas County DMV by the way) yesterday to update my drivers license and made my way to Troop A in Omaha to get my CHP squared away. On my way out the door the woman working the desk stated that the State Patrol would have my permit mailed back to me in 5-10 days ??? I politely reminded her that state law requires that my CHP be returned to me within 5 working days (as long as I still meet the requirements, which I do). She let me know that they would send my request down to HQ in Lincoln today and they would do their best to have it back as soon as possible.

I'm not too concerned yet but I am curious as to why the State Patrol is telling people it could take up to 10 days to process a change of address on a CHP. Has anyone out there updated their address on their CHP and run into issues with it not being returned within 5 working days?

I think my turn around time for a move from Douglas to Sarpy 18 months ago was about a week.

I've recently (July or August) did a renewal that was a week turn around as well.

Mine have averaged 3 -5 days.  My CHP with new Address, beat my new Drivers License by about 5 days.
Did them both within a half hour.
