Processing Application

I mailed my packet on 1/25, and DPS received via certified mail on 1/28. On Monday, the online status changed to Certificate Active, Licensed issued! Now, I'm just waiting for the mail...

I would strongly suggest calling. I called them on Friday and spoke to a representative. He said that everything seemed complete and in order, and wasn't sure what the holdup was at that point. He said he would do some checking on it. On Monday, the online status changed.

On 22-April my license shows active. Still dont have the plastic in hand. I think DPS does this on purpose as to wear you down to the bare nub! They are getting very close to not getting a Christmas card this year!
