Editor's note
The page says 'Mail or deliver to' the Topeka address, so in-person delivery is treated as walk-in. Cash is not accepted ('Please do not send cash'). No online submission or expedited processing offered; FedEx Standard Overnight or 2Day return is available via Form DC Option 2 (U.S. addresses only). Form DC is available in English and Spanish. Processing time and check/money order/credit card payment details come from Form DC rather than the web page.
