Lehigh County LTCF question
Hi guys - so today was my first time ever applying for a PA LTCF. I called ahead of time and a recording said that the license itself is $20 for the paper version but you can get the ID card (with your photo on it, I assume) for $38.
Today they only asked for $20, although they DID take my photograph, and I DO want a ID card when it's all approved. The woman working the computer seemed to be in a bit of a mood so I didn't ask her about the card, she just took my photo, handed me the receipt and said "we'll mail it in 30-45 days."
My question is, when they mail me the paper LTCF, will I have the option of sending in an additional $18 so they send me the ID card too? Or is there some other process?
I tried calling to ask but keep getting the recording.
BTW, the Lehigh County Sheriff's office is NOT in the courthouse, it's in the building across the street. Found some info in searches on here that it was in the courthouse.
ThanksLast edited by Storm88000; September 21st, 2011 at 05:39 PM.

Here's a little "light reading"...

While many claim to support the right, precious few support the practice.

They could dip it in gold and bedazzle diamonds on it. If they charge you more than 20, they are breaking the law

Re: Lehigh County LTCF question
This has been my understanding as well. I was leery of saying so because I wasn't following that thread as closely as I should have. I thought the fee, $20, was supposed to cover the cost of the plastic card, and that it was only $25 for a while to cover the cost of upgrading to the new plastic-card system.
amiright?While many claim to support the right, precious few support the practice.

Re: Lehigh County LTCF question
Are you sure you went to the LEHIGH County courthouse? I've been to the sheriff's office plenty of times and it is most definitely in the courthouse. A family member just went a few weeks ago and he went to the courthouse. IIRC, the post office is across the street.
I believe (someone correct me if I'm wrong) the license you get will be a laminated paper license, it should hold up just fine.I am not a lawyer and nothing I say should be construed as legal advice.

Re: Lehigh County LTCF question
That recording is wrong, and there is only 1 form of license available by law. It is a small paper card that they should be laminating on site before you get it.
Unless the Sheriff's office just moved it is in the Courthouse.
Here:
RONALD W. ROSSI, Sheriff
Courthouse- Room 253
455 West Hamilton Street
Allentown, PA. 18101-1614
Phone: 610-782-3175
Fax: 610-820-3368

Re: Lehigh County LTCF question
Hmm - well I walked into the huge granite building that has LEHIGH COURTHOUSE engraved at the top, asked for the Sheriff's office and the security guy pointed and said "across the street, 2nd floor" pretty routinely like it happens often. There were courtrooms inside, across from the actual Sheriff's office that I saw today - BUT I guess the other building is a courthouse too? No idea
Thanks for the info on the card question
