FYI- i received my PIN letter in the mail on 5/29 saturday. it was dated 5/26. as you can see by my signature, i already had my pin. but its still nice to finally get the letter.
anyone else in the (april apps) get a PIN yet ?

Dunno...I'm in Arkansas at school for the summer and haven't called home to see if anything came yet. I'm guessing if you just got yours, mine should be shortly behind hopefully

hi all, i wonder if its a random process with getting the pin numbers in snail mail? we aint got nothing yet..

according to your date sent, you should be getting it very soon

Has been 6 weeks today. Still nothing. Shows no application or license/cert active.
Think it is time to do some letter writing?

with all due respect ,i think you would be jumping the gun. it probably would do no good . it may be another week before it changes to "processing application" . mine took almost 7 weeks

Well, I did my renewal app online, took the class on 3/22, sent in my renewal packet on 3/31, and today:

Application Completed - license issued or certificate active



Finally!! No more relying on the MPA and hoping someone doesn't break into my car at the park and ride....

wow that seems kinda fast. do renewals go through faster or something ?

I think the law has that renewals shouldn't take longer than 45 days, while new apps shouldn't take longer than 90. If they actually have seperate renewal and new piles of apps, I don't know.

I'm also thinking that maybe applying online first gets the background check done, whereas if you do it all at the same time by using the instructors package you lose that headstart.

But I'm just guessing.....

PIN came in today, moving a little closer to the license part now...

I took my class 4 Apr, mailed the packet 6 Apr and just got my PIN today. I had called DPS and they said that they were recieving a high volume of applications. They said that it generally takes 60 days for the status to flip to "Processing Application", so you should get them soon. She said she could not give an estimate on when the lisence would come in because it varies (incomplete applications, bad finger prints, etc.). I'm miltary and didn't have to pay the state fee, so I'll be getting mine right about the time you guys renew yours!!

I'll just keep trying to be patient, hit the range as much as possible, and wait for my plastic. I don't think they'll let me carry when I get admitted to the nursing home, though!!

I applied online and talked to DPS when they started processing mine. She said the fingerprints and background check went out on the same day which was the day mine turned to Processing Application. They don't start anything until the day it turns to Processing.

I mailed mine the same day you did, and got my PIN today also. Not that it matters. I'm not processing yet.
