Of course, you can always go through Frankfort the old fashioned way to get them but it takes a little time. I use the following link and order mine directly online and I have them a week later: http://www.vitalchek.com/ They are inexpensive and so easy to use, and you can get them from any state in the country. You will have to know a little information before you order one, but that info is pretty basic stuff if you already know a little about the person. Just a suggestion for those that may need it. It really does work wonderfully for me and so easy. Donald Murphy
