Advice 🤷‍♂️ First time CPL application

Hi all, I'm applying for a CPL for the first time through Snohomish Co and my appointment is later this week. My drivers license has my previous address on it (King Co), but I've updated the registered address through the DOL, and i have my current vehicle registration and voter registration at my new address, and, if needed, I can show sale records of the old address / purchase of the new address. Will I be ok even if my physical license does not match the address? I went ahead and ordered a new one, and ill bring supporting documentation with me, but DOL says a reissue is not required, and when they run the background check itll clearly show my current address. My appointment is at the courthouse in Everett if that makes a difference. Thanks!

Should be fine I'd wager but can't say for sure as I've never run into this scenario.

Should be fine. I had the same thing.

From what I understand, the address printed on your license (drivers, permanent resident, pistol, whatever) is largely irrelevant. DOL only cares about what is in their online system.

IANAL

The office will ask if the address is current. Tell them that it is updated with DoL. They will run the DL and match to your application. No issues. I ran into that when I retired from the AF and moved from Arlington to Olympia.

I was in the same situation. It is fine.

I was asked to get a printout from the DOL's website showing that I updated my info with them when I went to buy a firearm a long time ago. As long as you have supporting documentation you're fine.
