It didn't change. It's a myth. Ignore it.

They're sending the stickers out about a week after cashing the checks. They are just trying to lower your expectations so that you won't call them any more.

500 a day implies that there are 150,000 hybrids being added in California per year. We're not even close to that. If they've been issuing 500 a day in the last couple of weeks they may have accelerated the process and are catching up on the backlog. Once they work down the backlog they should be back to issuing no more than 200 a day.

I sent for mines on 1/6, got them here last week. Now I'm back on the carpool again! My stickers where something like 455xx... Took them 20 days to process.

Mexiken,
Might want to call DMV number. I have been anxiously checking my online bank everyday and my check finally cleared today.

Sent in 1/15/2006
Cleared 2/1/2006 (11 biz days with MLK Holiday)
Based on others, should be getting it in the mail in the next couple of days.

I plan on printing out the image of my check and driving in the HOV lane now.

I can honestly say stickers are in the mail.

Good Luck,
Rick

Great idea on using the image of the cancelled check as proof! I'd keep a copy of the DMV app too.

I sent my app in on 1/18, check's not cashed yet, but if it follows rcassoni's timeline, the check should clear in the next 2 days.

Mike

If you do that, better keep that checkbook handy to pay the $271 fine.
