I applied for my GFL on November 29th, 2005. When I applied I was told that it would take "a couple of months." Today (Jaunuary 27, 2006) is the 60th day so I called the Probate Court and asked them about the status of my GFL. I was told that it usually takes "12 weeks, and sometimes more."
Thanks for the information. I do not have any details for the polk county process so if you would please fill out the form at the link below so I can add your experience to the list. http://www.gfodl.org/gfl-new-email.php For time taken just put 12+ weeks.

Re: Polk County I just applied for my license today (3/31/11), the staff at the court house were very nice and pretty quick. Although, they won't let you apply between 11:30 and 2:00, due to people going to lunch. I'll keep everyone posted on how long it takes to receive my license.
Re: Polk County WOW! My License came in the mail today, (4/7/11). Thought it might take the 2 weeks, that the clerks ofice said it would. My hats off to Polk Co.!
