I got my form notarized and cashiers check on Wednesday. The bank teller was excellent, chatted about what I carried some, got a color copy of my drivers license for me (front and back on one page), and she asked if I needed an envelop. It was a pleasant interaction.
The renewal paperwork went in the mail yesterday. El Paso County was not exactly fast the last time I renewed, but I have lots of time left on mine before it expires. I should get the new one before the old one expires.
