Credential Cards


If you have completed the necessary paperwork to be an American State National, then you are eligible for your Credential Cards.

Note: The back of this card declares your common carry right, so it is recommended that you complete the Common Carry Declaration before ordering the cards.  This is on Guide Steps 1 page.

You will receive two cards – one for primary use and one for backup. Credential Cards will be sent USPS Priority Mail.  Allow at least seven weeks for delivery.

 


Images for the Card
_____

 

1. You will need a scanned digital version of the passport quality image that you used on your Witness Testimony paperwork.  This digital image (jpeg/jpg) should be sized/cropped to 600 pixels wide by 900 pixels high.  Scan at 300 ppi to get this larger size.

2. Place a clear red thumbprint on a small piece of white paper, scan it at 300 ppi.  Resize/crop this to 600 pixels wide by 900 pixels high, saving it as a jpeg/jpg image.

3. Log into your account on the LRO (Land Recording Office).  Click on the Membership tab, scroll down to Picture, click on the Browse button to find and upload your digital portrait.  Do the same thing with your thumbprint image in the Seal line.
