Applications submission: 1/3
Fingerprints: 1/11
CHL 100 submitted electronically:1/21

I hadn't checked the website for a few days, but I checked it today and it is showing a list of options to change my address and report my licence missing and stuff. I hope it's not too much longer before the wait is over. I'll just keep waiting until the day arrives. Here's to a pain free process to everyone. :cheers2:

I'm not getting my hopes up quite yet as I've heard this story from others, however I did take away a few important tidbits from it.

1- Given her level of specificity, it's clear that the operator can see where you are in the process and if you bg check is completed, in review or approved, etc... Not all that surprising.


2- Your timeline starts when they receive your doc, so for folks like me who didn't get a confirmation letter right away, it's the date you sent them. I sent mine in on 1/15/16, and didn't get my confirmation until 1/21/16. She definitely told me that 1/15/16 was my start date.

3- If, and this is a cautionary if, what I was told was accurate, then if you have an uncomplicated app (clean record, no psych issues) and submitted in early to mid January..... Your wait may not be all that much longer. I'm right at 45 days today.

May have just been a smokescreen to get me off the phone, but there was no reason for her to volunteer any more specificity then you're still waiting at this point. However she specifically told me I was in final review and it would be 72 hours I can call back at the end of the week . :woohoo

My opinion, based on what the nice lady said, if I were you I'd be checking mailbox if I were you. Just my opinion.

Yeah... about that. I called today like she suggested and got a gruff, grumpy dude. He told me "your stuff is in, hasn't even been started yet.... call back in 30 days..... {click}". :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Who the heck even knows anymore. I think they just tell you something to get you off the phone. 30 days from now would be 75 days in. Great. :roll:

Update: my timeline is the one above. As it says, I noticed my website status change on Thursday, and my plastic was in the mail today Friday 3/4... I received plastic exactly 6 weeks after my confirmation email. I guess I got lucky and got off with an easy process. To all those who are still waiting, good luck and stay strong! :txflag:

CHL/LTC Class 12/04/15
Online Application 12/08
Fingerprints 12/10
Emailed DPS to check status 02/18/16
Never received an email response.

I have not received any correspondence from DPS. Today is day 84. Online status simply says to allow sufficient time for processing.

Kinda frustrating. Florida is mandatory 90 day max for processing. Maybe legislature could be pushed for shorter wait times?
