Hey everybody, been trolling these boards for a good 2 months now since right before i sent my app in for my license. I sent in my app on October 5th, received in Santa Fe next day air on the 6th. Received my card yesterday in the mail, 11/15/11. Roughly 40 days. Not bad considering the time frames I've read about on here. The thing I've noticed....most people that are complaining about their card taking so long ALSO applied for the PPL at the time they applied for a new license. I did NOT. I highly believe that this is a huge factor in determining how long your card takes to arrive. Hope this helped some!
