New Application turnaround

**x1eric** · January 12th, 2021, 09:51 AM

Like others said i think it's just tied to the individual that has your file and how fast or slow they move.

I filed my renewal 11/10 and as of 1/5 it still said "Pending Acceptance" I politely emailed asking if there was something on my end preventing acceptance and immediately got a response saying I was good with a link to pay. Now it says "Pending Review" don't know wtf they've been been doing the last 2 months?

Meanwhile I know first hand of first time applicants and renewals submitted around my time that have received their cards already. One as fast as 19 days from submitting.

The whole "we're so swamped" only holds up if everyone is taking that long. Tax dollars at work I suppose.

I took the class Saturday applied sunday online went and got my prints done on Monday. Got a email from them today I was approved and should have my license in the mail 10-15 days. I think the key is doing everything online. Mail takes for ever and even if you bring it in someone still needs to type everything into the system. Online everything is in system someone just has to look at it.

Most certainly. I mailed everything in and expecting about a 5-month turnaround

So they did the BG check in 2 days?

We finished my wife’s on the 30th and mine on the 6th, but haven’t heard anything back yet. Did everything online also.

So same as me. Mine took two weeks but I'm thinking that's because I did it right before the holidays.

Nope... My renewal was 100% online and it still took over 2 months.

Any recent info on renewal times? I let my permit lapse but approximately 30 days later submitted a renewal on Nov 21 2020. Only status I can see is "submitted to state". Should I be concerned about the two month (so far) wait?
