Re: PIN #
Welcome to the forum RocTrac. Lots of good info here while you wait...
If you ordered your packet online from DPS, you should have the PIN. If you received a packet from your instructor, DPS will send your PIN in the mail a few weeks after receiving it. For me it took 3-6 weeks, but my packet was mailed to DPS in April when processing time was higher. I'm sure someone who recently sent their app in could give a better estimate.

Re: PIN #
If they didn't give you a PIN, you can also request by email (the address is on their site) - that's what I did.

Re: PIN #
I believe that I got my pin in the mail right at 3 weeks after sending my application. Austin received my application at the very end of September.

Re: PIN #
Based on the message above, I requested my PIN at 8:30 this morning -- it came at 2:20 this afternoon!
So I'm now officially "being processed".

Re: PIN #
Actually, not only did I get the pin by email today, but my wife brought home the snail-mail version today, too.
So it only took from the 19th to the 28th for them to receive the app, and process it to the point of issuing a PIN.
She was so proud -- thought she was bringing me my LICENSE! Had to let her down easy.
