It's been almost 5 months, maybe even more. It's probably time to call your State Representative, and let them know what's going on. Ask them to look into it. Many people on the forum have used that tactic and were successful. Good luck to you.elw351 wrote:I submitted my renewal online back in March. When I log in to check my status it still shows background under review. Haven't been in jail or the funny farm so I don't understand the delay. I've called several times but only get the standard comments that it's in the works. Nothing else needs to be done. Is there another number to call? In the meantime my license has expired back in June. I'm up for suggestions.
Thanks. I hadn't thought about that. I guess I know what I'm doing tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes.joe817 wrote:It's been almost 5 months, maybe even more.

I submitted mine in april. been under review status since may. I've called multiple times and keep getting told they have 180days. I asked which statute that was and of course they couldn't find it. not my first renewal, I don't understand what the problem is.elw351 wrote:Thanks. I hadn't thought about that.

I know, and I mentioned that on the phone. it had no effect. I did find this while scanning the statutes PDFPawpaw wrote:KaProw wrote:I submitted mine in april. been under review status since may.
