How long does it take to get my drivers liscense back?

Question

My wallet got stolen about a month ago and I went to the DMV and paid for a new drivers liscense but it still hasn't come. My sister go hers after about a week and it has been a month and mine is still a no show! Does any one know if that is normal or should I contact the DMV and see whats up?

Answer 1

It never hurts to ask.

Answer 2

Yeah, I'd definitely call and check on Monday.  Their website (google it, it'll depend on what state you're in) probably has something about this and what you can expect,  but it's a good idea to call and confirm that it's being processed.

Don't let them blow you off, either.  Even if they say "it usually takes between 2 weeks and three months" just say that you need it ASAP and you want to make sure you don't have to start over.  Nothing wrong with pressing them to do their jobs.

Sorry about your wallet getting stolen by the way.
