Your "temp" is good for 120 days and it ususlly takes about 10 weeks or
more. You can go to the FAA Airman Registry website

Yeah, it looks like they are working on certificates dated 10 weeks back.
Here is the website: http://registry.faa.gov/airmen.asp

Your DE or the local FSDO can give you a new temporary. Mine was within
a few days of expiring and the FSDO just gave me a new (temporary) one.
At the time it evidently was quite a common request. My permanent one did
actually show up before the original 120 days were up, but just barely.
