I did this yesterday and the Rep's director called me asking for my info (Social, Address, and Birthday) then proceeded to contact the LTC office. She called me back at the end of the day saying it's being taken care of. I received a call from the licensing office this morning informing that they spoke to the State Representative's director and apologized for the delayed wait time. She informed me that they mixed up my social, but fixed everything and cleared my background/fingerprints and said I'll receive the license in 7-10 business days.

If you've been waiting a crazy amount of time you should go this route to expedite the process or figure out what's causing the delay.

Who exactly am I contacting? How do I find my state representative? I am at day 56.

By statute, DPS has up to 60 days to issue an original LTC, and 45 days to issue a renewal license. However, it is imperative that applicants understand that these time periods are calculated from the time a fully-completed application AND supporting documents are received by the department.

In order to be complete, an original LTC application must include: a completed application form, electronic fingerprints, the Certificate of Training and any required supporting documentation. Renewal applications must include a completed application form along with any necessary supporting documents.

In the event more information or documents are required to complete an application, DPS has an additional 180 days to complete the review process. To ensure the license is issued promptly, it is very important to provide the requested information for review. If the requested information is not received timely, the application will be terminated.
