I sent in my payment on Aug 12 via certified mail. Bvnpt received it on Aug 14. I emailed them to get a estimated time on when I will receive my license and this is the response I got on Aug 27: "Your Initial License Fee has not been cashiered yet. Currently the cashier is working on 7/26/2013; however, after it is cashiered it has to be exported over to create the license number which is the second step in this process. The whole process takes 4-6 weeks from the date the Board received the document and fee." This waiting game is horrible Hope this helps you.
