I submitted the form on Monday and was hoping to be able to play in Titled Tuesday, but I'm still waiting on it. Just curious what the turnover process usually looks like. Thanks.

I believe it’s supposed to take up to a week. It seems the verification time varies tremendously, I’ve heard of people getting verified in just a few hours but I’ve also seen it take up to a month.

I would follow up with chess.com support if you don’t have your title after a week.

It's usually going to be at least a few days. If there are any issues they'll contact you via email, so you might keep an eye on your spam folders, just in case.

Just curious: what actually takes so long? Surely it can't take more than like a minute to check out my info and see that it's legit, right?

If you're missing details or they want additional information to verify, they have to wait on the submitter. In looking into it more, they contacted you a couple of days ago for additional details.

Wait what? I haven't received any messages or notifications from chess.com either here or in my email. And how would you know this 🤨

Did you check the email attached to your account and check spam/junk folders? As to how I know, the contact is noted on your account.
