Thanks for posting that, I was about to plan a 4hr drive to renew.

Instead I applied online yesterday and got notification today that my TWIC has been mailed. Less than 24hrs turnaround, what a refreshing change.

Better than I did last renewal. I had to go to the office, but it wasn’t too far out of the way on my normal commute. I made a reservation, so I was in and out in less than 5 minutes. But. . . .it took about 6 weeks before I received my renewal.

Am guessing this is similar to the MSIC card we have here in Australia [https://www.msic.net.au/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwr4eYBhDrARIsANPywCi7zrPska6q3mVqHzmB7rAThWlTdEe\_s9VYFFVLyatllU3Oa8M11QoaAjcUEALw\_wcB](https://www.msic.net.au/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwr4eYBhDrARIsANPywCi7zrPska6q3mVqHzmB7rAThWlTdEe_s9VYFFVLyatllU3Oa8M11QoaAjcUEALw_wcB) I’m surprised you guys have only just been able to apply/renew online, it’s the only way I’ve done it since it was first introduced here in 2005…
