Current 107 permitting turn around time (Post gov’t shutdown)?

AMann · Feb 1, 2019

Hello, I am wondering what the current turnaround time is for getting the 107 permit adter passing the test? Has anyone received theirs after passing the test within a few weeks or what types of delays have you been experiencing? This would only be for post (after) the government shutdown.Thank you very much for your replies!

Hi, thanks for the reply. So it was 3 days after you passed the part 107 test that you got the permit, or was this just for getting the online registration number?

I was wondering how long after passing the part 107 test people recieved their FAA permit to fly 107 (commercial) missions. Thanks.

I tried at 48 hours like the directions said but it couldn't find my exam so I sent them an email and they said it could take more than 48 hours so I waited another 24 hours and it worked. i now have my permit and I ordered a printed one with a FAA official sticker for my drone.

That’s good news, I thought it would take weeks. Thanks!

I passed my part 107 certification on December 18 and received my temporary certificate via email with attached pdf 2 days later. It said the real one will be sent through the mail. As of today, February 6, I haven’t received it.

I passed my test during the government shutdown. It took 4 or 5 days before my test would link in IACRA. The gov't reopened a day later and in 2 days I got the temp certificate. So about a week from test to temp certificate.
