    How long did your designated collector license take to arrive. I am almost at a month from when i sent the application off.

    I've had mine for many years, but I think it was 3-4 weeks. Based on recent posts, it sounds like that's still the general time frame. Yours should be arriving any day now.

    Submitted on 5/16, still unchecked for everything. I did get a letter from the state police about a background check turning nothing up, so it should go well.

    submitted on 5/10, everything is still unchecked.

    ***Update ***
    on 5/30 I sent an email to MSP just asking if everything was ok since nothing was checked. they responded back saying that they are required by law to take 30 days. but the same day, I randomly checked the portal and the application was fully processed and approved and HQL # issued.

    That is bull. They are not required by law to take 30 days to do the checks. By law they have 30 days to do the checks and either issue or deny your application. So the person flat out lied to you about what they are required by law to do.
