I've been issued my temp airman certificate and was wondering the wait time to get the real card in the mail, not sure exactly what to "search" for as searching for "airman certificate wait" etc.. doesn't really pull up what im looking for.
I took my exam on the first day, 8/29, and am still waiting for the real card. I thought I had seen someone post that they got theirs, but not sure. Of course, I've been traveling since last Saturday so it is possible that my card is in my mailbox.
I got my temp on 9/1 and the FSDO said 2 weeks, it's been a month. I suspect they will be arriving any day now. Typically the permanent cards have been fairly quick.
I also recommend requesting a replacement card card away. There's no charge for it.
