I am posting this on behalf of my wife. She applied on December 7th and received it on December 17th. The envelope was postmarked December 15th 8 days after she applied.

In perspective my renewal came 3 days after I applied (postmarked 2 days after). Maybe it is the season and they are getting a little backed up.

I had to keep pushing my wife to get in and get it taken care of. She wasn't too concerned because of how quick I got mine. She works downtown and I had to tell her that just because I got mine so quick (which I had to take time off from work to do) that with her luck would probably get lost in the mail or get delayed for some reason. She was getting concerned since her birthday is coming up soon. lol
