Just curious how long it usually takes for permanent license to arrive after temporary certificate is posted and forwarded to the registry?

Thanks
 
Thanks Sisyphus, we're you able to get temporary in the interum?

Well WooHoo It finally was issued about 8 weeks to the day from when I applied and then this morning my license came in good ole' snail mail (another three days).

I am Part 107 certified and whoever said it took them about two months had the about the same wait as me.

Check this site:
Airmen Certification

Currently it says they are processing certificates submitted around March 22.
I did mine on May5, So I am looking at a 6 week waiting period.

My temporary certificate was posted in less than 36 hours after I completion of the application in IACARA's website.
 
I passed the test 3/18, it showed it their system 3/20, and I received my card yesterday 5/15.

Just wanted to give folks a frame of reference!

Hey Guys. I took my exam 21st of March, 2017. I received temp cert issued 24th of March. Still awaiting the hard copy to date: May 16, 2017. Another time frame ref. for ya. In Texas though. Tons of drones & operators here! Oh well.

My temporary certification was posted to IACRA - Federal Aviation Administration within five days and my permanent Remote Pilot status showed up there 56 days after taking the test. I'm expecting the actual card in the mail this week.
The federal government was much more prompt when cashing my quarterly income tax payment - 8 days!
 
My temp within 3 days, I will be waiting for hard cert. via mail.
 
I took the test on 05/05, got temp in 3 days. Status was transferred to registry.
On 06/22 status changed to Registry - DOCS Complete and I have an actual Airmen Certificate number.
Expecting the card this week.
 
I took the test on 04.29.17, on 05.02.17 my temp cert was posted on IACARA's web site. On 6/14 status changed to Registry - DOCS complete.

On June 22 I received the card.
 
My wife asked me why I was getting the mail all of a sudden. Looks like I can sit back for a couple more weeks.

Thanks for sharing, everyone.
