Hey did you happen to get your license in the mail yet? Was wondering if it actually took the full two weeks since mine hasn't showed up yet and it's been like ten days since they said they sent it lol

I did get it. Iā€™m honestly not sure when I got it, because we were on vacation. I think it probably came in 10-14 days after I was approved based on where it was in the stack of mail
