I foolishly laminated my husband's extension letter, which invalidated it according to the DMV when we went to update his DL after moving. She gave him the DL anyway, saying he showed up in the SAVE system. I was not willing to risk him not getting back into the US when he goes home this summer, and with a LOT of TLC, we successfully delaminated the document with an iron. Here's a video I found giving me the idea:

In the future, we'll just stick to regular plastic sleeves... :bonk:

 

Anyway, in case anyone is in the same situation, this is how you de-laminate.

Watching the video made me feel uncomfortable :D Thanks for sharing and I'm glad you were able to update his driver's license. 

Me too! Desperate times called for desperate measures, though, so I watched part of it to get the idea!

 

I'm glad the license was ok too. I didn't know about the licenses with stars (Kansas Real ID). I got one, but he did not. Now I will need to check into the requirements for it.. PR are allowed to get them!

LOL! Me too! I was thinking it was going to tear. And why in the world was it sticking to the sheet under it?!

When I did it the ink was sticky for some reason and stuck to the paper under it a little.
