Private Pilot Certficate
 

How long does it take to get your permanent pilot certficate? I have had my temporary one since April 25, 2007.

Thanks!:D

It will take about 3 months. Seems like in the past few years the FAA has gotten better about processing certificates. When I got my PPL a few years ago it took about 110 days to get the permanent certificate.

Top of that website has the updates as to which temporary certs they are processing...if you are getting close to your 120 limitation call up the FSDO.

i was told it would take a 110 days to get mine, got it in 40 so dont sweat it

When I first started, it took right around 100-110 days. Obviously as mentioned, if you're approaching 120 you need to contact the DPE that gave you the check-ride. Should be any day now that you get your shiny new ticket.

took about 6 weeks

I got my PPL 3 years ago, i received the certificate in about 1 month

I have recieved my certificates anywhere from 2 1/2 months to 3 weeks. From what I've gathered they tend to get more busy during the summer moths so it may take longer.

+1. mine came in about a month but I was warned it would be 110 days

Will the postal service automatically forward it? I had to move the day after taking my checkride (and passing!) or do I need to call Oklahoma City? I can't update my info on the FAA website, because I don't have my regular ID number (just the temporary certificate).
