No problem. You may pick up a copy of an application form at either the Public Library or at the City Hall front desk. Simply fill out the application and mail it or drop it off in an envelope to City Hall with a copy of your NOA.

Whichever method you use to apply for your card, it can be mailed directly to you at the address provided on your application form. Once you receive your card please sign it and the next time you are in city hall or the library ask them to laminate it so it will not get bent or ripped in your wallet or purse.
