The RSD has 60 days and to call before that isn't being fair to them, nor is is fair to "gum" up the system for people who have legitimately been waiting MUCH longer than 60 days. Personally, I'm not all that convinced it helps all that much. I waited until day 63 (I'm at 77 right now), then called my state rep and the DPS director's office. No answer of course, but I left messages. Received a call back a few days later from both and they indicated that "I was in the system and they were beginning to work on apps from my week - Jan 15". They said to give it about 2 weeks more. Received a call from a DPS super exactly a week later who indicated that I was approved/sent to print and to please allow 7 days to receive.

My point is; so yeah I called, but I'm not sure how much it helped as pretty much everyone else who submitted in my time frame (some called and some didn't) are pretty much at the same stage. If I'm lucky, I'll receive my plastic at between day 80-83 (early next week), and that's seems to be pretty consistent with everyone else on here right now. I will admit, that it was good for my own peace of mind to know that they were working on my app, but did it do anything to hurry me along???? I'm not convinced.

Good luck.

If i had not heard anything in that long i wouldn't have heard anything at the 60 day mark either, and every time i called regardless of what they told me it was always "everything with your paperwork is fine" & "Please wait another 30 days".

About 2 hours after submitting an email to the Gov's office i received a reply email telling me they will look into this. 2 days after that i got a call back from a manager at DPS telling me they will be getting to my application within the next few days and will get it taken care of ASAP.

My experience with the Gov's was similar except for the call from the DPS manager. I got a nice email saying they would contact the Director of the DPS and that someone would call me shortly. That was March 16th and I am still waiting on the call.
