• Paper licenses no longer include the card size license and may take up to 14 days to arrive.
• If you choose to have your license emailed, it can take up to 4 hours to be delivered.
  • Not in your inbox? Look in your spam/junk folder. If it’s there, mark it as “not spam”. This will help ensure you get future system-generated reminders and notifications.
