Just Called the State

#1

Post by rmclain3 »

Well, I sent in my completed CHL package to the state on 2/19 and I'm still waiting for my PIN number. A few of my friends that sent theirs in at about the same time have already received their PIN numbers. I called the state and was informed that my application hadn't even been entered into the system. Apparently they're behind in getting the application entered and I was told to call again in two weeks (like from "Total Recall"). Frustrating!!

Just pull up a chair. There is no rhyme or reason to how long it takes them to do anything, as you will soon see. :bigmouth

Really, they should have given you a PIN by now though.

Still the same boat.

DPS signed for my application on 2/5. I sent an email on March 12, and my information wasn't entered in the system. I still do not have a PIN, and I will contact them again on April 5. :waiting:

After reading some the posts here I think I deserve a public flogging.

I got my CHL when they first came started issuing them. It took about 60 days. By the time it expired, I was back into law enforcement, and decided I did not need it anymore. I never renewed it. What a dumb mistake. Now that I'm no longer in law enforcement I had to start all over. I registered/paid, took the class and sent my packet 2 weeks ago. Guess I'll join the waiting crowd and hope I get it before Christmas! I won't let this one expire. :oops:

Oh boy. This one makes me worry. I tend to have the worst luck possible with this kind of stuff. When I see someone who is waiting as long as you, it sets a new level for how long I have to wait.

I have emailed them three times now asking for a pin,just like their web sight told me to do. The last exchange of emails gave me the impression that good ole Simone was getting irritated at me for requesting a PIN. I don't know what to do now other than wait. I worry that she is power tripping down there and will intentionally scuttle apps. If something doesn't show up in the mail by the end of the week, I am calling them.
