Anyone else logging in and still saying you have a pending application? I checked my g/f app then I checked mine and it says I have a pending application. I've had a CHL for over 2yrs.

Today is 10 weeks (70 days) since DPS has had everything. Been in BG check for 8 days now, hope its not much longer.

If you do the paper application you have to wait till DPS puts your information into the system or sends a letter before you can schedule your fingerprints. I tried to schedule them before my info was in the system and I would get a error message saying it does not recognize my name.


Reason I did the paper application is cause I was unaware of the online app, our CHL instructor gave us everything to mail off.

Here is my timeline so far.

2/23-CHL Class
2/26-mailed paper application and all other documents
2/28-DPS received mail in app and packet(certified mailed)
5/2- First Update and in the system, fingerprints scheduled.
5/6-Fingerprints done.

Working on 10 weeks since DPS received app and packet. I hope my BG check does not take long, would like to have plastic before I hit 3 months.

That talking about making your CHL card. If its pending then its in line to be made.

Did you do the paper application or the online app?

5/2-First update and in the system, fingerprints scheduled for 5/6

It took DPS 5 weeks to send a response to my email. Best way to get ahold of them is to call otherwise, get comfortable.
