Okay...
Feb 6, filled out paperwork online,
Feb 7, CHL class
Feb 10, fingerprints
Feb 10, sent paperwork in the evening
Feb 11, got confirmation e-mail of paperwork received...

So most people are saying that it takes 2-3 weeks? So I should have mine by Mar 1...

Edit: Looked online and called today- they are saying dont even call or ask until it has been 30 days...

Edit -> Edit: I just called and they told me that my license was issued on the 20th and I should receive it in 7-10 Business Days..

Hey everyone, figured I would post my and my wife's dates. I had a non-disqualifying, disclosed class B over 5 years ago so mine took a bit longer.

01/24/2015 - Took CHL class -- Both
01/25/2015 - Submitted application online -- Both
01/26/2015 -- Confirmation of Supplemental docs receipt -- Both
01/27/2015 - Fingerprints -- Both
02/05/2015 - Status Change -- Wife
02/10/2015 - Received plastic - Wife
02/25/2015 - Status Change - Me

Seems pretty fast to me, though if you would have asked me just yesterday I would have said "what is taking so long" :lol:

I'm the same timeframe! I'm hoping that since tokarev is getting his, we're right around the corner. I heard the system updates once every morning. I'm tempted to call, but I feel that everytime I call them, they push me back a day.

No problem in calling, after I submitted everything I just left it alone and forgot about it. I just called to make sure they had everything and was told it was already approved

Thanks, I'd also like to thank the dps for the speedy turnaround compared to the months of wait it use to be. Keep up the great work
