waiting till the end of class and letting the instructor handle it ? I sure hope so . It saved me 10 $ anyway
state packet?? i thought you just show up, take the class, do the fingerprints and your done. Do i need to get something from the state before i go to a class>>
If you apply online you can still go to the class before you get your packet from DPS. You can use everything from the packet the instructor gives you except for the yellow application. You will discard that and use the application you receive in the packet DPS sends you.
You just cannot send off for the actual license until you receive the packet from DPS and get the application that is in there.
Yes, you CAN. But there are instructors who will tell you to wait until you get your packet. We don't.
What is the wait time for the packet from the State if you apply online?
I haven't found that it has any bearing on your overall waiting period. Where I see pre-registering as a problem is many instructors will make you wait on your packet before taking your class. I'll provide you with a packet, but you still have to wait for your state packet to show up before you can submit it to DPS.
It's usually about 2 to 4 weeks, but I know students who have been waiting for months.
This is what my instructor told us.
If you went on line, then wait till your packet shows up because a control number was issued to that packet. Or so we were told by a FWPD Sgt. that did our class.
2-4 weeks or months? WHAT? I know a LOT of people who applied online, myself included. Every one of us got our packet from the state in under 10 days. I got mine in 5....days. I applied prior to my class, got the packet and zing it was back on the way. The nice thing about the packet from the online reg is that you worry less about the forms being filled out with bad hand writing. LOL
That just befuddles the mind. When someone completes their online application, it should be set up to just print off automatically, someone grabs it, sticks it in a prepared envelope and VIOLA, it's gone.
...VIOLA...
