It can take between 2-4 months to get the card. It took about 2 months for
mine as best I recall. Here is a FAA web site that tells you what DOI dates
the FAA is working. http://registry.faa.gov/airmen.asp

As far as the DE sending in the information, I believe that is normal. At
least mine did so. In fact, he hooked up his computer to a phone line and
sent it via the web right after entering the necessary information and
printing out my temporary certificate.

I passed my checkride over 2 months ago but have not received the plastic
license yet. Any idea how long it takes?

BTW, I did not mail anything to anyone..The D.E. told me she would be
sending the form in. Is that the norm?

thanks.
