IDs

[abdsp51]

How long should it take to receive your ID? It's been a month now for me.

[Extremepredjudice]

I got my new one 2 and a half weeks later. (renewed in feb.)

[Eclipse]

They usually come in a couple weeks, depending on holidays, etc.

[abdsp51]

Its been a month here was told 3-4 weeks.

[MSG Mac]

New ID cards are sent to an outside vendor in batches. About every two weeks or so.

[a2capt]

Send out to a vendor? They are paying for these things?
Gah.

Bring back the card printer they had.

Let's see, I rejoined at the end of February, uploaded a photo about a week later, and received my ID card in the mail a week and a half after that.

It should take ~1-3 weeks after your photo has been uploaded and approved or after you select to have one ordered.

Check with your unit and see if your membership app package has actually been mailed. Even money somebody "forgot" to do it...

[abdsp51]

It arrived today. And idk seemed like in my case everything has taken forever, but oh well.

I see you got it because I was going to mention the other possibility is National may have turned down your application. It has happened before and will happen again.

[abdsp51]

It's all good, just there has been snags with it all.

I renewed in January, and didn't get my new card until literally a week before my membership expired in March.

[usafcap1]

It took me six months to get my ID card. But its different for different areas.

[jimmydeanno]

I renewed on 25MAR12, I've had my ID card for two weeks now.  Maybe I'm just lucky.  My members get their blues, IDs, uniform parts, membership applications processed, promotions, levels processed, etc.

How so?

Fl vs alaska not much is the same

Two months after renewing my membership, got the new one in the mail today.

The poster you just responded to is in neither place, and that locational comparison isn't germane to the discussion.

Never said they lived there.

Different places, different delivery speeds

[SarDragon]

Unfounded assumption. Mail delivery is unpredictable at best.

Renewed two weeks ago. Got card today.

True but only to the tune of days, not months. If there is a wide disparity in time that's NHQ's doing not USPS.

Sorry I misspoke.  When I first joined CAP I hadn't gotten my ID card or my binder within the first 6 mos. So we called and finally got it taken care of and then I got it w/in 3 or so weeks.

. . . is this on topic or meant to be "snarky" . . . .?  Because as true as it might be . . . it doesn't answer anyone's question. 

[SarDragon]

How about fixing the quotes, so we can make better sense of what you said.

[edit]
OK, think I have it.

There is no easy answer. There are too many uncontrollable variables to be able to narrow the problem down to one specific area.
