I got a call regarding mine (lodged 25/07) apparently was missing the safty course document which I know i uploaded it as i doubled checked everything...and email confirmation showed it.

Anyway had to resend it in and she said once the "data team" process the email she will process the application and will check on it in a few days... as thats all it was waiting on. So hopefully its not far off now.

Hi all, does anyone have any idea if you can contact them to go and pick up the licence rather than have it posted, to try and speed it up

I don't know I doubt they would let you, I rang today to see if mine had been sent yet as I am inpatient, they couldn't tell me if it had been posted yet and they said they company that makes them only prints on certain days and wait another 2 weeks before calling back. So I don't even think they print them in house

I've been waiting since June 30... perfect record... accidentally let license expire due to weapons licensing failing to process my change of address (I accept my part for missing date also)... was told license would be done weeks ago...

I just submitted my application yesterday so will see how long it takes. Do have a minor driving infringement resulting in licence suspension for 1month (creating excess smoke and noise) however this was about 8 years ago, but been a good boy since then. i made them fully aware of it throughout the application. One thing i noticed is there was no where to attach my proof of address (rates notice/ power bill) when i submitted it online. It said at the start I needed to supply it but it never asked for it through the application steps?

I hope the processing times are better around now, applied on 20th September, so just gone 4 weeks so far. The wait is insane.

Hey Louis89, The WLB will require you to take to the nominated police station more ID than just the Rates Notice and the original Docs. are required. Not too sure if certified true copies are acceptable either.

Keep me up to date! I'd like to know when you get your approval. I'll likely be a month on from there.
