AFter pass exam, how long till license is in FCC database ?

[hikerlt]

After taking a test and passing the exam ( technician class here...)....typicaly how long until your info appears in the FCC database, and typically how long until you get the official paperwork ?

I want to say I saw my name in the Database in about two or so weeks. But it really depends on how fast the examiners get the info submitted. I think the paperwork came a few weeks later.

I don't recall exactly, but 2 weeks for the database and another 2 weeks for the paper license to arrive sounds about right.

I'm going with 1 week and then a few weeks for the paper copy.

I kept searching the FCC database...but came up with zero hits.

Then I searched from the ARRL website, and found out the license had been granted a few days before -> looks like the FCC database search wants the last name first.

Got the paper license in the mail yesterday !
