OT question about PA Veteran license plates?

[amstel78]

Don't know if anyone else here has done this but I sent to Harrisburg a copy of my DD214 and the Penndot MV-150V form for a veteran plate to replace my car's original damaged (when I got rear-ended on the 11th - thread in the Mk6 Golf forum) license plate. Penndot cashed the checked on 17 April. It hit my bank on the 20th. I still haven't seen the plate though and it's now the 24th. Just wondering how long the process usually takes?

Also, and not sure if this may have any bearing on the delay, but the MV-150V states that I must supply a legible copy of my DD214 which I did. The generic Penndot FAQ on Veteran plates however states that the DD214 must be notarized by the County Clerk. I only saw that stipulation after I sent my application to Harrisburg. My DD214 wasn't notarized but I'm sure they'll be able to pull up and verify my record if necessary?

Thoughts? Sorry about asking here but I'm not quite sure who to inquire with. Penndot is completely useless when you call their info line.

I have what Maryland calls "Organizational" plates and it took about a month to get them after I sent in all of the paperwork. Patience, Grasshopper.

Never mind. I guess I was worrying over nothing. My plate came today.

BTW, the reason for my concern was this. I didn't know if my old plate would still be valid if I picked up my car from the body shop before the replacement tag arrived.
