Apparently I just got lucky and got put on the slow boat. Called the DPS (I was only on hold 5 mins!) and they said all my info was sitting there it just hadn't gotten entered yet. They told me to wait another week and it should be entered and start showing up online. Hooray for getting put on the slow boat! Oh well, midterms are coming at me like a freight train so I probably won't have time to think about it again until it finally shows up in my mail box.

I spoke with my instructor and he was under the impression that DPS would only accept paper, especially the CHL-100 form which requires that the original inked copy be sent in (As stated on the bottom of the form). Did you give them a call beforehand to make sure that e-mail submissions were accepted?

Lol! I am not that blonde. Yes, the DPS accepts scans of all documents for new licenses. I called to confirm before I sent the email. They started accepting scans about 3-4 months ago.

I did get a generic auto reply that the email I submitted was received; but, after that I never heard anything. Well...guess I will try and see if I can get anyone on the phone tomorrow. The silver lining to this is that I have been so busy studying for 15 hours of classes that I haven't noticed the month long wait for nothing!

DId you get to call? What did they say?

Sadly no. Work started at 8:30am and ended at 6:30pm today and I know it is no use trying to call over lunch. I'll have to wait and try some time next week.

Almost a month ago I submitted my paperwork via email and went to my appointment for digital fingerprint (online application was paid for and finished 5 weeks ago). I have check a couple of times online but it still shows that they are waiting on required materials and once everything is in they will start on my application. I know for sure I submitted everything but I am beginning to wonder if they actually got the email and attachments. Just curious if I should give the DPS a call or keep waiting. I am kinda thinking something should have shown up online by now seeing as how a tomorrow will have been 4 weeks. Still too early to see anything online? Keep Waiting? Give 'em a call tomorrow?
