How long does the NAR take to approve a membership?
I've applied to become a Realtor through ACAR, my local Realtor branch, and I'd like to know how long it generally takes for them to approve a new member.

Didn't ACAR give you the instructions on how to log in to your State Board and the National Board of Realtors? You should have joined all 3 simultaneously when you went to the local board in person.Membership should be immediate after you pay all the yearly dues and fees and you will start receiving materials from the National and State boards in the next few days and weeks.
