Yesterday I was gonna send my paperwork in..but Fedex does not deliver to PO boxes. How do I get someone to sign a delivery confirmation if the only place to send my packet is to a PO box?

Use USPS certified mail, return receipt requested. That's what I did and I was 28 days, mailbox-to-mailbox.

I heard it takes longer if you send it certified because they have to sign for it, instead of getting a big box of applications. I can't prove that's true but it's what I heard.

If they have someone collecting the mail from the box on a regular basis, this should only delay the delivery by a day -- and the tracking would be well worth the peace of mind since the initial DPS online status change takes so long.
