Thanks!

I called a local notary service and they said that since I've already renewed online, they can't do another renewal for me to get the card more quickly.

So as far as PA is concerned my only option is to wait for the new photo form to get a new DL.

She did say that the photo form is valid as a DL for 60 days, so I'm thinking worst case I can get someone to pick it up and mail it to me in FL before I come back...

Will the airlines accept an expired ID and a paper temp/extension form for boarding, or do I need a pic id that is currently valid period?
