Is receiving a PIN# automatic?
Upon receiving my application, will DPS send a pin #, or do I have to request one?
Thanks,

You can also request one by email a month or more after sending your app.

Tireshred and TexasFlash,
Thank you both. My app was just received by DPS Wednesday of this past week. So, I'll just wait.

Re: Is receiving a PIN# automatic?
In my case, I never received my PIN until I requested it by e-mail. I knew there would be a long wait, so I did not even request one until I had been waiting for about 11 weeks. After I sent an e-mail requesting a PIN so I could track the application on-line, it took a week for them to get back to me. Good luck and I hope your wait is short!

I was told I would received my PIN in about 3-4 weeks after my check was cashed. It was three weeks.

Re: Is receiving a PIN# automatic?
was wondering the same thing with mine. I hand delivered my app on 9-14 and haven't seen a PIN yet.
