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

Nasir, I got my card almost 3 months to the day after my checkride.
My D.E. sent in the form, and my temp was a 120 day certificate. I
did notice that I was listed on the FAA pilot database information
page about two weeks before I got the card.

I checked their website as someone else pointed out, and I searched for
myself. My Student Pilot certificate shows up (basically my medical) on
their site but nothing about the PPL. I guess 2 months is not unusual and
its probably gonna take another month or so.

thanks for the reply!

Nasir
