Thanks malc4d

Your are ab-so-lu-te-ly right. I asumed they wanted a US passport and got all wound up
Then I emailed the people at the Airmen Certification Branch and their reply was that they would not accept my foreign passport as a photo id source: loads of bull apparently.
Job done online. I could even use my credit card for the $2 fee. I owe you one.
Thanks

Strange.
Turn the clock back to 1995 and the FAA was doing a trial run of plastic licences at Oshkosh complete with a photo.
I have one of those plastic licences. It sits with my FAA paper licence dertificate. Although it has sample marked on it it has all the details of the paper licence.
Does anyone have any idea if this 1995 FAA plastic licence meets the FAAs current requirement for a plastic licence?
Yes, I am a foreign national with an FAA licence based on my current overseas licence. The FAA has indicated that I should travel to the US to get a plastic licence.
The last time I went to the US was in 2002(?) and while I was in transit the FAA advised that they would not be touching foreign licences for the next xxxx weeks, the period that I was staying in the US.
Any advice appreciated.

I have a FAA ATPL and lived in Korea. I went to the FAA web site mentioned somewhere, use my personal CC for $2 USD and they mailed it to me within two weeks with international postage paid. Doesn't sound too difficult to me. The 1995 Oshkosh sample is just that a SAMPLE and not valid except as a conversation piece on you wall or where ever you have it.
