Filling out the PAL application, applying online, passport expired so i cant use that at the moment, could i use my health card?, for the online application it does list Health Card as a type of ID, but many places dont accept Health Card as valid ID, so im just wondering if its to bait people out of 60 bucks

If they don't accept the ID you send, they will ask for another. They don't just keep your money and make you pay again.

I thought that the application just gets declined and thrown out, thank you for your reply

No. A pal is a shall-issue license. They have to notify you of any denial and you can appeal a rejection.
