Nebraska CHP renewal information
bullit:
2-3 days mail time....should have it by next Monday.... at the LATEST....I think you are justified in asking for it next Tuesday.
WESchultz:
Received my CHP RENEWAL in the snail mail today 6/8/12. Nine days total from the time I turned in the required renewal application paperwork till I had the new renewed CHP in my hands. This includes the time spent dealing with their letter requesting proof of NE residency. I'm happy ;D, their happy ;D. Can't really complain about a nine day turnaround. All in all, I feel the NSP did a good job processing my renewal, etc.
That being said, I still wouldn't want anyone to wait until the last minute to apply for their CHP renewal.

That just blew my mind havig been a NE resident my entire life and that request just floored me. They wanted "what" on an already established RENEWAL for CHP permit?
Anyway, the NSP letter went on to state that, “What I needed to furnish the NSP to complete my CHP application was,”
1. The original letter they sent to me saying the application was incomplete.
2. I needed to also enclose Proof of 180 day Nebraska residency by furnishing either (a Utility bill OR Paystub, OR mortgage/bank statement dating back more than 180 days.)
I had the option to either mail it in to the NSP in Lincoln, or to again go to the NSP HQ in Omaha.

My four month renewal period is coming up on 06/24/2012 and I was just reading through the NE state patrol website renewal info. I saw that "proof of address" part and wondered the same thing. I remember when I got my initial permit that all they wanted was my drivers license and birth certificate.
My question is: How are some of us Nebraska residents supposed to prove this if our names are not on utility bills? I live with relatives in a single family home and do not deal with those bills.
And how does a paystub prove anymore than a drivers license that I'm a Nebraska resident? I could be living in Iowa and working in Nebraska. Also: The only way to get them a paystub is to print it off from the online workpaysite. They have not mailed our paystubs in paperform for some time now.
Also: How does any of the above documents from over 180 days ago prove that I am still a Nebraska resident right now (at the time of application)? Shouldn't they demand one document from over 180 days ago and another current document?
Has this happened to anyone else? Is this just a random thing like they told WESchultz? I dont want to just turn those docs in automatically without having been asked and then have them think they can make a habit of requiring it from everyone.

Personally I've never liked this 180 day residency requirement. Its obviously an arbitrary violation of the 2nd Amendment and many other states don't have this stupid clause. I think in Iowa you are deemed a resident as soon as you obtain an Iowa drivers license or an Iowa State ID card. Our law needs to be amended to do just that.

Update: Well I went into the state patrol to renew the permit on Tuesday June 26th 2012. Apparently your car registration also serves as proof of address/180 day residency, however she said since its just the renewal I dont have to worry about any of that. All she needed was to see my old permit, and my drivers license. She didnt need the birth certificate or the old training certificate or anything else, just the $50 ;) . The lady told me it would be 2-3 weeks. Then Thursday morning I went camping and came back Saturday and my permit was already at home. They issued it June 27th 2012. I guess they are finally caught up and following the law too. Thanks to all of you who called, emailed, and wrote the governor and the other officials. Thanks to you the state is following state law again.
