Hey anyone know how long would it take to get the license after my credit card being charged? Have been checking my online status, no changes so far

Could be a month could be months. Mine was charged in late December. It’s said approved and license issued since early January and I’ve yet to receive it.

First call it instantly hung up, second it said no agents are available call back later and hung up, third time it put me in the queue and then I had to wait for 15 minutes. Talked for a few minutes and gave them my info. Was then on hold for 2-3 minutes while she looked at my application to give me an update. I’d suggest calling a few times in a row and maybe you’ll have a similar outcome.
