They must be clearing out a lot of applications!
"Application Completed - License issued or certificate active"

39 days from application mailing to Application Complete -- Not bad at all!

19 days since it went processing.

30 days since packet was mailed.

... and that is with an error on the app! They are surely making some improvements.

I will only speak for myself, but the mailbox watch is MUCH harder than waiting for the app to be appoved. My app was approved last Friday. Nothing in the mailbox yet. Does anything happen after the app is approved? I.e. does it go to printing at that point? Any expectations on when the plastic should show up? I'm in Houston.

Just got back to Houston this evening and found the license waiting in the mailbox! :woohoo 53 days from receipt by DPS to receipt by me. That's way better than I expected. Based on everything I had read I was just hoping to get it sometime this year. Now a Wally Walk and the never ending process of improving my skills.

When I got home today, I found my pin in my mail pile (been gone 22 days) and when I went to check it out, I got the message that there is no account/application. It was mailed on the 18th so any latency should be done by now right?

Make sure all the info you enter is correct (the PIN is case sensitive), and that you're on the CHL status link, not the instructor status link

Yep, I was checking on the wrong one. Now this is what it says "Application Completed - license issued or certificate active"
So does that mean its in the mail or that its off to printing or just sit down shut up and hold on?
