How to status of processing if mailed application

[twjolly]

If I mailed my application and did not use the online system. Is there a way to track the process online?

Yes, 2-3 weeks after DPS receives your application, your status will begin to show online. You will be able to log in under the "returning users" section with your DL and SSN. This will be the most frustrating part of your wait, unless your background check gets delayed.
