Probably not. Then that department would have two in it. :biggrinjester:

Yup, that is the first thing they do, and there is no waiting period for that. "rlol"
Once they have your money, they can take as much time as they want. I wish I could tell you the wait get's easier, but it doesn't. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
"rlol" That is what I was thinking

Your not in the system yet. If you try more than once within a several hour span, this will happen. It will reset in about 24 hours, so just wait 24 hours before you try again. Just check the site once a day till you are in the system, to avoid this. After you are in the system, you can check as often as you like. It will take between 2 and 3 weeks from the time you mailed to get into the system.

Hello all. I've been reading for a week or so, but have yet to have anything useful to add. Was referred by a friend who is also a member here.

I took my class 7/17, mailed the packet in 7/19, they signed for the packet 7/21, and cashed the check 7/27. I havent heard anything else. What information do you use to log in online to check and see the status? On the site, they had a place for new applicants (assuming that is for applying online, not pen and paper applications) and for returning members, but I saw nowhere to register.

You don't need to register just click on Login for returning users and enter your DL#, SS#, and birthdate.
