Hangfour, thanks for the good wishes. Today it's showing CHL mailed. I am more enthused about receiving my license than I expected to be!

By the way, at FAST Fingerprints they told me my fingerprints would definitely (with emphasis on DEFINITELY) be rejected due to insufficient ridge definition. Whew! Glad they were accepted after all so I don't need a re-do.

Mine too!

I have a scar on a finger that messed up the ink prints.

Well, it seems like a scar could be a good identifying mark -- but then I sure don't know anything about fingerprint technology. Congratulations to you on your CHL! posting.php?mode=quote&f=42&p=445859#" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Congrats to all you people having short processing times!

DPS received my packet on August 26, 2010. On Aug. 25 I went to FAST for my fingerprints as suggested by my CHL instructor, but FAST said my fingerprints will DEFINITELY be rejected because the fingerprint ridge definition was not good enough. FAST said after they're rejected I will have to get my fingerprints done again (at no extra charge), and they will probably be rejected again. FAST said then my background check will be done based on my social security number. Has anyone else had fingerprints rejected?
