Congrats. Prepare to wait 5-7 days for it to come in the mail. If you are as unlucky as I was 9 days. Well worth it. Don't forget your Mandatory Wally Walk and Target Run. :-)

It varies from when you get that update. Sadly one person is not always the same. I can still remember early December being upset that the thing hadn't updated. Then I was mad when it did and said it was "mailed" on Sunday and didn't arrive until Saturday. Was even more mad when my Dad grabbed the mail on his way in and decided to play a game of "poke the bear". Which he decided to say it didn't come in.

The good news is that while you are waiting you should be carrying at home and practicing the pulling of the weapon if you have to. I still say they should hire some more people to help process this workload if it is going to keep the system bogged down. I guess their hope is after awhile everything will run down. I doubt that will be the case.

Lady you got hit with a few holidays. Patience :-)

For the others that got theirs or will be soon. Congrats to you all!

I can relate to the stress you guys are going through. Be patient though. I know that is easier said than done. It will get there.

Hang in there! I know that is easier said then done but just hang in there. :-)

Just be aware the time line maybe delayed but so is the mailing. This didn't show up until today and was postmarked 12/11/13 even though they showed it being "mailed" on 12/9/13.

Finally a piece of paper came in. My Dad being the funny man he is said "Nope, didn't come in today...." So here I am going what the heck. He hands me all the mail and goes "Opps I forgot this came in with your name on it (I am a Jr so)". Woohoo! Now off to go take my MTA exam and then wally world here I come!

Well I think the US Postal Service has misplaced my license. It was showing mailed on Monday but I checked the mail and there has been nothing. :-(

WOOHOO!!! Updated today! *cries* I am so happy it is close to being done.

Same here. Mailed everything Oct. 9 with delivery conf 10/11/13. I get that they are back logged and all but then you need to hire more people. Seeing as we have a lot of people on unemployment insurance seems one or two of them could help with that process while being paid.

When I called DPS they told me basically that as long as I got proof they have it then they will have it taken care of. When I suggested doing it online she said that fax and online would have the same delay. Not to be rude or anything but at least update the site with you got the paperwork and are looking into it.

Good job guys! I have my status as still waiting on required documents . Silly DPS forgot that I was special :-p

Makes you wonder why they haven't hired a few extra people to help with the load. If the load is that large then the fees they are collecting should be enough to cover the needed people too.
