Passed NCLEX, got a job, just waiting for my license

[nursex23, BSN, RN]

Hello everyone! I took my NCLEX July 11th and I passed (whoo hoo!!). I got offered a job but they won't let me start until I have my license number. How long does the process take before your license posts on the website? I live in Illinois btw. Thanks!

Cant speak for Illinois specifically, i live in Nebraska, but the majority of my classmates were on within 48 hours of taking and passing NCLEX. For me it took 3 weeks for some odd reason, they said something about my LPN background check was showing in the system as active since I had just taken it 5 months ago, so I think they overlooked my RN background check and forgot about it. Probably should be 2-4 days, but things can happen where it takes alot longer too.
