    Just went through the certification process (Jan '21) with a very experienced (1000+ planes) and helpful DAR. In Dec he sent me a paperwork kit with the required forms and his instructions on how to fill them out. Much of the information had already been printed on the form. I didn't even know about the online process until reading this thread. He must have taken care of that part himself. Airworthiness was issued on the spot along with paperwork and instructions to apply for repairman certificate. All in all, a very pleasant experience.

    My airworthiness paperwork was all done ahead of time. The DAR (not from local FSDO) has a website and everything was checked out before we met at the airport.
    I set up a ZOOM meeting with a gentleman from the FSDO for my Repairman’s Certificate. That process went very well and I received a temporary certificate, the final was “pending” until it was approved by the FAA. It took five weeks to receive the Repairman’s Certificate card. It looks a lot like your PPL and lists the airplane and serial number.

    How long did it take the FAA to take the next step after you filled the online?

    Filed an application for my Repairman Certificate on Wednesday and was issued the temporary card Friday morning. North Texas FSDO would have issued the card Thursday but were delayed by an accident investigation. I was floored by the two day turnaround.

    My DAR was waiting for me to finish in the portal. Once it was done, he called the FSDO the next day. I got a green light email from the FSDO in 2 days.
