My license got here today. Here's my full timeline:

11/20 - took class
11/22 - mailed "all paper" application, with paper fingerprints
11/30 - check cleared bank
12/15 - received acknowledgement letter
12/27 - plastic in hand

Web site never did anything for me ("could not log you in; select "apply" blah blah blah").

I finally (today) received the letter stating that they received my application. It was dated 12/9, postmarked 12/13. I mailed my pure paper application on 11/22, the check cleared on 11/30. I did email DPS yesterday, they said that my current status is waiting for background check.

Online system has not worked for me at all (being a pure paper application). I think the online system is borked anyhow.

But note that if you're not in the system via an electronic app (paper application), and use the "Login" button more than 3 times in a 24 hour period, it locks you out for a solid 24 hours (or more) from your last attempt. So if you check before work, during lunch, then after work, you're locked out until after work the next day, and if you check during that locked period, it gets extended another 24 hours from that check. At least that's how it worked for me. What a PITA.

I'm only 2 1/2 weeks since mailing though. No feedback except a cleared check from my bank so far.

Yup, I just tried - only once, first time since yesterday afternoon (it's been over 24 hours since last attempt) - and it gave me the message again today. I wonder if something's up with their system.
