No need to wait, Scooby, you can fly solo, authorised by an instrinctor, just as you did in training.
Go get some more command experience before you consider flying a passenger - but enjoy yourself a bit more.
Did you ask the CAA how long it would be?

I thought...
I thought 3 weeks was the going rate. Certainly that is how long it took mine. If you look at Personnel Licensing | Safety Regulation then it tells you what the oldest application is that they are dealing with. Which gives you an idea of how far away your license is

Posted mine on a Monday, CAA divested me of my cash on Tuesday, got a call 10 days later to check my postcode prior to sending it out. That was last Friday, now just waiting for the postal system to spit it out my end. So two weeks, ish.

Could take longer
I had one guys log book and new IMC rating turn up in the post at my home!
The CAA were very keen for me to send it back to them but I decided having phoned the owner of the log book to send it to him direct.
The cost to me was the same to send it to him or the CAA and it was the only way to garantee that the CAA did not send it to the wrong place for the second time!

A and C....I would have demanded payment from the CAA for your time and expenses.
40 pounds would be about right for CAA equivalent time, don't ya think?

Was shocked when I saw what I'd paid for. They hadn't even put the licence papers into the wallet.
Most expensive book i've ever bought...
The CAA did say 10 working days for the licence to be delivered. That was the case for all of us who sent our licences out at the same time. But if you give them a call, they will be able to give you an estimate.
