I know its like come on already lol.... Last statement from the bank I didn't see the checked cashed yet and that came last week.. I wish they would hurry up. Purple did they cash your check yet how about you Dadiomac?
I couldn't find my checkbook at the time so I had to use a money order from the post office. The online tracking system has never worked, the toll free verification system hardly ever works. Costs 6 bucks each time to have the post office check for me.

Hopefully this helps some March people! The countdown is officially on for me! Submitted my application electronically on 03/05 and just got an email today saying that I got approved and my card has been sent to the printers! The next 10-14 business days are going to take forever!

Update... I was just able to confirm that my check was cashed May 9th... 57 days after the state received my application... March 13th. I was not expecting that at all!
My check was cashed 5/1 appl. Sent 3/5.
Received letter today stating that they don't have my dr. Certificate.
Know I need to contact the dr. &have him send it again.
I hear from a lot of others who are waiting that they get the same letter.
I know my dr. Sent it in. This Great state of ours is just buying time.
It makes me sick.

Hey all,

So my Journey began On September 13, 2017 when my application was sent in. On Sept 15, 2017 my application was confirmed received via email. Fast forward to November 16th .... 63 Long days later and my check was finally cashed! Finally some positive news I suppose! I check the mail box on November 20th Monday and what do I find in the mail box? Can this be my card? Heck no! Got a letter stating that My picture Taken by the dispensary that I am going to use was to dark and to far away! I was a little furious to say the least! It also stated that my Drs certification needed to be resubmitted! I immediately called my Dr and got that set in motion! I then went to my local Cvs got a photograph taken and mailed off that night! I not only sent the letter back along with the new photograph but I also emailed them as well with the new picture! This Monday November 27th I recieved an email from ILDPH the actually person doing my application! They informed me that my photograph was good to go and that all they were wating on was that new certification letter and I was Approved! So now the wait game!
I’d say from the day that they cashed your check you should get your card within 10-14 business days. If they needed additional it would be in your mail box with a letter. The state cashed my check on 11-16-17. They sent my letter on 11-17-17 and I got the letter on 11-20-17! I’ve resubmitted everything they asked. New picture and re submit dr form and I was emailed today that I was approved!
Received letter today saying they have no certification from my dr.
can he resubmit this to them in an e-mail or does he have to mail it.
My app. Was received on 3/10 & my check was cashed 5/1.
I am not a happy camper

It was mailed. Dr. Said it had to be mailed in an envelope with the return address of his clinic
It makes me wonder-am I his first rodeo .
So if I call him tomorrow I can tell him to send it electronically?

Wow, you are one of the rare ones that gets an email stating approval. I'd like to get one too but I'm not going to hold my breath.

I went to Medcardclock and it just says 56 days is the current wait time yet im passed that by 3 days. How did you get a date or how many days does it tell you?
It says 56 days but if you scroll down it says below "Send me notifications" - click that. It will then ask you when you submitted your application and whether you did it online or snail mail. Then it asks how often you want to receive notifications - choose whatever you like. Then finally just put your name in and then it will give you an exact date of when they predict you will receive your card.

I had to stalk them! Lol I sent an email about a week ago and they said they could give status updates so then I begged if they could at least tell me what day they were on in processing. They ignored me lol but then yesterday I got that email!
