Unfortunately previous background checks and/or security clearances don't really play into the speed. However, the DPS has been normally processing the apps much quicker these days; seems like the average is around 30 days, but sometimes less. During and just after Obama election time in 2008, there were licenses taking 3-4-5 months or more to get issued!JustMe wrote:nope--i'm so clean i squeak!
Just kidding--I am a USN vet and have also been fingerprinted so many times for legitimate reasons they could probably do a timeline of age! I am an RN(fp), my husband has a used car dealer license(fp because I am officer in coorporation) license to finance used cars(same reason)---and I'm sure there are other times that I don't even remember! There was a time when a cop friend of ours would just show up occasionaly for something my husband was filling out and say that they needed my prints again!
Hope yours is one of the quick ones!
