How long to get your c card?

You can do things online but it requires scanning photos or uploading digital pictures which is a pain. Most places will just mail it in.

With my certyfying agcy, I submit online and usually have the cards within 4 days. Once I received a c-card within 18 hours via overnite mail

Smilemon -- I hate to say this being a NAUI Instructor but----getting any card is Instructor dependent. Once all of the paperwork and dives are done it is up to the Instructor to submit your name to NAUI in a timely fashion. We can even register you on line (this is the method I use) and get your card in about a week. If your NITRX car dosen't come within a few weeks - pester your Instructor. Good luck.

It took about 8 weeks for my OW card to come in. I have no idea how long it took for my AOW.

As long as you don'e exceed the time that your temp card is good for (with Padi that's 90 days) it really shouldn't be an issue

You can also check padi's website and once they've processed it and the card is on the way you should show up in their system.
