Submitted CHL 100 online on 9/29.
Received confirmation email that the CHL 100 was received on 10/1.
Gave fingerprints on 10/3.
Sent an email asking for confirmation that the fingerprints were received on 10/5.
Waiting for reply.

So it sounds like I'm on the clock now for 5 to 6 weeks and can expect no updates or status changes.

Have you called the DPS Regulatory Services Division? If there's nothing in your background to complicate the process then the background check will only take a day or two.

I called last Monday and they flagged my file as ready to process, they ran the background check and I had my LTC on Saturday.

If I were you, I'd call the RSD today and see if they can give you a status update. Ask them if they can confirm receipt of your documentation and when they anticipate beginning the background check.

I Called on the 6th to ensure they received documentation and they acknowledged that all was received and I didn't need anymore documentation. I was told it would only take a couple of days for the background check and once approved I would be updated on the website. So I was just checking the website.

I followed your advice and called today. I'm so glad I did.. :anamatedbanana :anamatedbanana :anamatedbanana

I was approved and I was told it is waiting to be mailed. So Hopefully this week I'll have my plastic and get on with my edc!!!

Sept 19 - Took Class
Sept 21 - Turned in Form online & received confirmation email
Sept 29 - Got FAST fingerprinting done
Oct 28 - Received card in the mail


My status never updated online, and when I called all I was ever told was that my case had been assigned to an agent for processing. All in all about 4 weeks after all my paper work was turned in.

Here's my CHL time line so far.

CHL Class - 9/5
CHL App Submitted - 10/16
CHL 100 Submitted - 10/16
CHL 100 Confirmation - 10/19
Fingerprints Done - 10/21

I called to confirm that my finger prints were received and he told me they wouldn't know for at least 30 days???
I am kind of worried they did not receive my prints...

All who have only been waiting less than two months to get your plastic, your lucky. It took me right at a year to get my plastic back in 2013. I have a friend who got his in a month a year ago. He said he had connections!... Then I run across this "Waiting Room" post once again over two years and see that the DPS must have hired some good help and/or upgraded their 15 year old computers and software! (Pun intended)....

I have been waiting for just shy of 30 days for my card. I called the DPS today and they have updated their message when you select 1 to speak with someone about your CHL/LTC. The message now advises that they will not answer questions or confirm receipt of paperwork unless you have been waiting for a minimum of 30 days due to increased volume. I called at the end of last week and was sent directly to a rep but not today. Hopefully my countdown is nearing the end!
