Competition License Process

jmcarter · 05-06-2024, 04:45 PM

I don’t see how this will “streamline” anything since I’ve always found renewals very easy when handled by the D2 team.

I’m curious how long the process will take since I’m up for renewal before long. Anyone running through this gauntlet I’d appreciate feedback on the length of time it takes and process in general.

I sent my renewal in via email at the end of March with an addition and a number change, and they processed within 24 hours.

2 offices, 2 sets of employees doing the work, probably quicker, as everything is computerized and a shared system, even faster probably. And San Dimas employees less overworked.

I priority mailed my application and time slips to Indy yesterday. USPS shows it should arrive tomorrow. I will update on how it goes from there.

Typical NHRA response. I reached out asking them to clarify. Answer was "we said nothing about the online process".

Bottom line - online process still good and works great if you can do. No need to mail in unless you cant use computer or youd prefer to mail in.

Yesterday I got an email that my license was coming up with a link for renewal.

I clicked on the link and had it all done quickly.

Almost immediately I got an email with a temporary license attached.

I don't know how it could have been much easier.

My application and time slips arrived in Indy yesterday May 8th. I received my temporary card in my email about 5 minutes ago. I am very satisfied!

I went to the division office to turn in my upgrade and renewal. Got my temp very quick but I have to say I have been waiting a long minute for my real license

I used the online renewal process, it took less than 5 minutes, and immediately got my temporary license. Very smooth !
