Would that it were so. I just tried and it told me that my certificate
isn't eligible for online update. (I have Commercial Glider aerotow,
private privileges ASEL.) I downloaded the paper forms and will mail
them, but I fear the worst, as they do not have any mention of how to
attach a photo, which will be needed on the new plastic cert. (The
online update has a really clever deal whereby you can upload your
passport or driver license photo, but as noted, I can't do the online
version.)

And yes, I tried just changing from SSN to a new number.Also no dice.

Grrrr.
