Update: I haven't bothered calling, or anything like that, but since some reportedly got their renewals within a couple weeks, I have been logging into the renewal page and checking for a status update.robzgunz wrote:I just did my Online Renewal yesterday (8/29). The 'Checklist' email said they'd check my prints & photo already on file and would send notification if they needed to be redone.
Uploaded my DD214 to the RSD site and got a reply (from a human, no less) that it was received ok, within an Hr.
It says to allow 6 Weeks, but since my Change of Address only took a little over a week, my hopes are up.
The only thing I've been seeing is: "CHL APPLICATION STATUS: If you have a pending CHL application, please allow sufficient time for processing. If you have not already done so, please submit all of the items listed on the checklist you received. DPS will notify you by mail if further information or additional documents are required."
I guess, since I haven't received anything in the mail saying they can't reuse my Photo, or Fingerprints, that's a good thing.
[EDIT] Mon, 9/22/14:
Got a letter from the State today (uh oh...) A note saying they need something more???
Hmm... a 'Firm' section about the size of a CARD!!! YAY!
A bit over 3 Weeks (including Labor Day Weekend) Not bad. :)
