I have seen several threads asking about how long it takes to get your CHL so I thought I would post up the dates and steps I took and report on the progress to get it
Couple of helpful points:
1) You have to apply BEFORE the finger print appointment can be made. Also if you screw up making the appointment do not close the window and start over. It will lock you out for 48hrs
2) You do not need to have passport photos made. On form CHL-6, the one where you attach photos, you just write "Use DL photo" beside the spot your photo would go. Of course if your DL picture is not to your liking you can use the passport photos
I am going to check on the 8th and then daily to see just how long it takes for them to get my information into the system after they receive it. According to the instructor they have 60 days from the time they enter info in computer to issue your license or deny it with reason
Cuz sent his in the same way yesterday so we will see how close they come back to each other.
Hopefully there is not another person with my name who is a career criminal. My license for work now requires a clean record so no worries there
