How long will it take to get the card?
The length of time needed to complete a WWC Check varies. The majority of cards are received in about two weeks. In the meantime the receipt is proof of your WWC.
Note: The WWC is legislation; therefore there are penalties for eligible volunteers and/or paid employees, who do not have a valid check.
