You may have plastic in hand before the status changes on their website

Welcome and congratulations!

Some people actually receive their license and the site never changes. It's possible that this is your case. It could also be that the license has yet to be printed so it's not ready to be mailed out. It seems that the change, if it takes place, happens once your license is in the mail. While I don't believe there's a set schedule, it appears that once the license is approved it takes a week at the most to print.

Keep checking the website. If it does change you should have your plastic as soon as the mail can get it to you.

It took 8 days from when they said I was approved to when I received the plastic in the mail. The web site changed the day before I received the license in the mail.

Apparently they used to provide tracking of the status of your application. I guess that is what no longer works. But you can tell when you are approved by the fact that the website changes to allow things like changing address, report lost or stolen card, etc, etc.

I'm not sure anything in this process works like it's supposed to. I'm almost at 70 days with no news, and I'm getting pretty frustrated by it. The people on the phone are no help and neither is the website.
