Hello DrinkRaiderade »

Applied Online 02/03/2009
Took CHL Course 02/07/2009
Packet & PIN Arrived 02/17/2009
Mailed Packet (Certified) 02/18/2009
Packet Received by DPS 02/19/2009
Online Status Changed to "Processing Application" 03/13/2009
Application Complete-- XX/XX/XXXX
Plastic in Hand-- XX/XX/XXXX

I feel your pain that it is a very long time. I believe that you have to start from the date they started the processing and not the date they received it! So with that said, your application has been iin the processing mode for 40 days counting today. I am sure you will get it before the 60 day period.....Hope that helps....

I guess this week must of been good for license's! Received mine yesterday as well
My status changed from processing to issued on the 13th, license in hand the 17th!!!

Even did the Wally walk yesterday too....

It is my understanding they don't update till your license is ready! So with that said as long as you see Processing application, your in good shape. However if you see an application problem it will be updated at that time too. You will receive a letter in the mail explaining the problem/s.

Hang in there!

Thanks Keith!!!

Received application on line January 19th
CHL class Jan 31st
Mailed Feb 2nd and verified from DPS Feb 6th
Pin received Feb 19th
Processing application March 2nd
Application complete license issued TODAY!!! April 14th.

So that would be 43 days from processing not bad I suppose!!
Total time though was 71 days since I mailed it......
