First time poster, just adding my two cents:

Submitted docs via snail mail 1/13/2014, received per tracking information on 1/15/2014. No update online, nor response from DPS on requests for confirmation of receipt on 2/17/2014.

I am curious to see if the rapid turn around for some of you who submitted online carries over to those of us in the stone age. (In my defense I thought that I had read somewhere that online submission was for renewals only.)

Good luck and happy waiting, all.

I uploaded my material via their website on 1/6/14 and have had no update to date other than "waiting on materials" via their status web site. I've made TWO requests for updates to status and have received no responses as yet. You're certainly not alone here.

I actually uploaded my documents AND snail mailed them. I uploaded on 1/6 and put a copy in a postal pick up box the same day. The mailed wasn't picked up from the box until the evening of 1/7. So, I guess I double submitted.

Actually there are several who submitted the first of Jan who have already received their plastic.

I submitted my paperwork online on January 13th and I got my first update on February 21st indicating it was in background check status.

Not sure why there are still people from Oct/Nov/Dec timeframe that haven't gotten updates yet. System just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

I wonder the methodology behind my status change ( no update and then to manufacture pending) vs. ( no update, manufacture pending background check). Anyone have any insight?
