I think that is an Oklahoma term, similar to "Fixin' to get ready"

Or the person works for the "Redundancy Department of Redundancy"

Man I got my PIN last week, hopefully I'll get mine in a week or so :anamatedbanana , what do you think, is that possible or was yours an acception??? :headscratch
Merely a coincidence, like he said PIN means nothing, so when you get it has no bearing on when you get your license.

I had to email them and request my PIN early on.

My wife and I were on almost the exact same timeline as you, up until the PIN part. Still haven't received ours, but maybe we're about to get good news anyway. Congrats!!

Don't get your hopes up yet, start the clock when the DPS gets the Ap, stop it when you have plastic in hand. Just means someone took the time to enter the information into the system when the license was approved. Some have waited an additional 30 days before it was mailed after that. Congrads, hope you get it in hand soon. The glass is neither half empty nor half full, it is just exactly twice as big as necessary.

Well, folks. I guess another chair will be available in here. I got home and found that the plastic had arrived.

I've enjoyed the stay. Y'all take care.

Sent DPS an email (?PIN?) today and they replied back today, here is their reply:
Your application has not been entered into the system. It is likely going though the processes required before entry. When a completed application is entered you will be sent a confirmation letter with your PIN.

Actually, my app may have been easy for them. I dotted all the "i"s and crossed all the "t"s. I was never sent notice that anything was out of place. I have worked for the same employer for the last 7 years, and I have lived in the same house since 1989. I have never been arrested anywhere in my life.

I'm hoping that my diligence in my app submission and my boringly stable background had more to do with getting plastic so soon.

Wow....you definitely did better then most of us have been doing here lately. Congratulations. Maybe a lotto ticket would be a good idea while your luck is running good.

I feel your pain. I was at almost a hundred days before seeing a pin. The cool part was that they had my license to me within about a week of getting me a pin issued. All that pin is going to do is tell you what you already know...processing application. With or without the pin...they are already working on it at the 90 day mark.
