I sent all my paperwork in overnight express 5/19 and tracked online to see it made it to the BON on the 20th, I applied for my license in DC, and it doesn't seem like I can check the status of the paperwork online at all. I've heard for other states it can take anywhere from days to weeks to get your ATT, and even though I just sent my information in I have no patience. I have a job already lined up that starts in july and it requires me to have passed my NCLEX for me to start it! So i'd like to be able to schedule my exam asap, anyone have any idea how long it takes to hear back, or how long I should wait to call the BON and ask them about my paperwork??

I sent everything off on Monday (05/16) and got an email today. Most of my classmates received their ATTs by Friday, so I spent all weekened freaking out. By noon today I couldnt take it anymore and left a voicemail for someone at the BON. I didn't hear anything by 4pm so I called again and in about 20 minutes I had my ATT by email!! I wouldn't have freaked if my friends hadn't gotten theres so quick.
Just making sure..You have registered with Pearson right?
Yeah, I registered with Pearson a few days before I mailed everything out!

I registered online and the school I went to submitted everything to our state BON online. I had my ATT in less than 24 hours.

Some states don't even work on packets on a first in, first out basis, so all you can do is to hope and wait. Calling to check might help. Good luck.

Mine took less then 24 hrs.
turns out they LOST my application, but I had a tracking number, it took several supervisors, multiple days/phonecalls, and a ridiculous number of hours, but i FINALLY got my ATT!
