Today's the day! I got an email this morning from DFA saying they are in the process of approving my FBR application, and that they wanted to confirm my postal address. Shortly thereafter, they said my FBR certificate will be issued and posted in the next few days, and that I would receive it in 2-3...

I mailed a notarized copy of my driver's license to DFA the first week of August to prove my new address (I moved to a different state since I applied for FBR in 2018). I called last week and they confirmed they updated my address in their system. When I asked, the operator couldn't say for certain ...

Just to be clear, I haven't applied to FBR as a means of dodging my taxes.
