I'm going tonight to take my Renewal Class. My license doesn't expire until Dec. Is getting your renewal back from DPS any quicker than for those that are obtaining new permits? I guess I'll see you in the Waiting Room anyhow....

I received my renewal in about 45 days. Was quite surprised!

I received my renewal in about 60 days.

Mine took about 85 working days. I'm in denton Co. The county your in has alot to do with length of time.

Mine took 35 days. That was last summer. My wife did her this spring -- it seemed to take longer, but there was a "reset" in the middle cuz something wasn't filled out right, so that may affect the perception.

p.s. others have recommended getting a Pennsylvania CHL as a back up in case your current one runs out before the new one gets to you. It's $26. You have to have a current one from your home state. Search on this website, there is a thread about it someplace here. I wish we had thought of that before my wife's came up for renewal -- she waited too long to get started, and went "without" for awhile.

I went without for a short time also. Recieved the packet in January the next thing I know it's mid April. Not a good feeling and it won't happen again.

I actually just posted a thread on this over in the "CHL Checklist" forum. In short, I sent my completed app off on July 15th, and recieved my renewal license on Saturday, August 30th. Roughly 45 days including mail both ways.

to DPS, at least in my case!
