Back in 1976, I had my LTC 5 days after applying. And back then the PD had to send it to MSP HQ for lamination.Renewal application in on March 23rd 2017, interviewed a week later, received my license on June 7th, not too bad for Massachusetts. Back in 1977 my first LTC was issued in Revere and took less than three weeks to arrive, and it only cost $10 bucks. Those were the good old days

5 days, WOW !!!! Now that's what I call fast. I didn't even think that was possible in Massachusetts.
That included mailing it to me. It was real simple back then, pretty sure the chief ran the background same as they do when you are caught speeding. Since everything was teletype back then (punch tape) it probably took an hour or two to run and get results. Then they mailed it to MSP HQ (1010 Comm Ave) who laminated it and returned it to the PD.5 days, WOW !!!! Now that's what I call fast. I didn't even think that was possible in Massachusetts.
Brockton, didn't realize I expired this may, thought it was next. last time I renewed, I called in jan
was told I should have called in dec. as long as I'm in process, I'm good, right?
You are correct. It MUST be entered into MIRCS before expiration to get the infinite grace period. So if the PD doesn't do their job you can be screwed, it has happened.Len can correct me, if needed, but I believe it has to be submitted by your town and not sitting on your towns licensing officers desk.

Took mine 7 weeks from the date of interview to card in hand. Fwiw mine expired in Oct 2017......I made my apt in June 2017. Never understood why people wait to the month before to call.anyone renew their ltc lately, how long did it take?
I expire in may, and the pd gave me an appointment in april

then he tells me to call in the middle of june for my license. however, i was given a form, that states my renewal
has been submitted and i am covered. so i guess all good, won't be able to buy anything, but won't be in trouble either
4-2 made 4 weeks for me. I was told to expect it this week or maybe next.
