How long did it take for your new driver's license to be delivered after you renewed it at the Registry? I know the service says it takes up to two weeks, but wondering if anyone can tell me about actuals for theirs? Delivery in Calgary.

I just did this, but it was just for an address change, took about a full week for them to send me the new licence. Less than two for sure.

Thanks. Hope mine gets here that quick also. Renting a car in the US next week and need it.

Yea mine was a week.

Might be good to call and see if they'll take your temporary slip. Passport + temporary slip might be ok but might take some convincing when you hand them a piece of paper saying you can drive!

I used the temporary slip to rent in hawaii. I had a photocopy of my expired license just incase, but didn't need it.

Pretty sure most states drive without plates for a couple weeks when you get a new car and are waiting for them to issue.

Cant be to far outside the normal to wait for a license to arrive I would think. I am sure the major rental companies see it all the time.

Mine was like 1 week. Quick.... Why does it matter?

If you want to go to the bar just take your passport in the mean time.

1 week, just did mine. I used to just use my firearms licence for photo ID when I was stuck with paper while waiting.
