How long for an inquiry to show on credit report?

[Mark Beekman]

Anyone know how long it takes for an inquiry to show up on your credit report from a credit card application? Someone told me it takes around 30 days, and someone else told me it's instantaneous.

The inquiry hits instantly after you've apply for anything, car loan, mortgage , credit cards, etc. As soon as you apply , it will show the inquiry. I know this for a fact because I remove credit inquiries for my clients for funding, and i see the inquiry lands on their report instantly after i apply for funding.

Inquiries stays in your report for 2 years.
