I applied for DXCC-CW today. All the countries (106) were confirmed on LOTW. I have a few more confirmed by cards, but I didn't want to delay it by submitting the cards, so I'll just have those that are confirmed on LOTW to count.
Do any of you know how long it takes before the certificate is sent out from ARRL these days?

Congratulations to you. That really is one of the more meaningful awards in my opinion. A real milestone for you.

Thanks, Steven. I appreciate the good wishes.
Thanks Vlad for the info on how long I can expect to wait for the certificate.
Congratulations on DXCC-CW!
I have had LoTW-only submissions take as long as 5 days to process, and once as little as 51 minutes! The last certificate I received took about 3 days from the time processing was complete until I received it in the mail. Now, having said that, it took about 3 months for me to receive my Diamond DXCC certificate, and I'm still waiting for a WAC endorsement I applied for in May, so don't set up camp next to the mailbox just yet!
(Disclaimer: Yes I know WAC is a different program, but it still gets mailed out from the same hallowed halls in Newington!)

Jim Congrats!!
I just recently finally got around to submitting mine. I put all my QSL's into LOTW and had about 139 come back with confirmations. I qualified for both mixed and CW. I think start to finish it was about 2 weeks until I got my certificates in the mail. I've since done the online/card-checker and a few more LOTW (smaller) applications but the online/card-checker took over a month to get the endorsements back.

Thanks, James. Congrats on yours, too.
I got my DXCC-Phone in 1995, but since that time I got more interested in CW, but I didn't know about LOTW until 2009. After noticing that I was approaching 100 countries confirmed on CW, I thought it would be fun to try for that, too.
ARRL said the application has been completed, so now I'll wait to receive the certificate.

I received my DXCC certificate in the mail today. That was quick - just a little over a week to get here after applying on the LOTW website.
