Woohoo!!! As mentioned, I faxed everything in late Saturday night. And they charged my credit card TODAY (Monday morning!). The turnaround time was 34 hours from the moment I sent the fax to the moment my card was charged (and they were closed for 30 of those hours). Lightening fast!
SO EXCITED. SO. EXCITED!!!!!!
When will I receive a number? Via email? EEE!!! Thanks for all the help, yall!!

Thats so exciting for you!! But now I regret mailing mine in. I thought they weren't taking faxes anymore so I didn't even try. It's been almost 2 weeks and I'm still waiting. And I really needed to get some stuff for a shoot I have this weekend....urgh

Aww shucks... I know it won't help for this weekend, but if you have all of your documents in order, I would go ahead and fax it in just in case (as a backup plan). Obviously fax is not their preferred method of receipt, but at least you get immediate confirmation that they received the application at all! And good luck homie! I can't wait to watch my kit grow.

I faxed it to: 905-944-6400
I don't think that they would charge your card twice -- if they put you in the system via the fax info, they'd see you were already in the system when they tried again. I've also read of other people who've sent in applications both ways to cover their bases, and haven't heard of any problems that occurred. Still, anything's possible! But I'd probably take the gamble, Indiana Jones style. Hehe.

You may or may not receive your email in time. The whole process for me was 2 weeks. I had already received my card and then the email came later.

Well, I faxed my stuff yesterday afternoon and I just checked my account this morning and I saw the debit for $35 for MAC had already been posted!
That was a turnaround of less than 24 hours, but now I just have to wait for my card or email.
I don't think I've ever been so excited to have someone take my money lol.

Congrats! Same thing happened to me when I faxed mine in.
I was so excited I actually called MACPro and was like... there's this charge does that mean I am um, ya know... approved? Even though I knew what the charge meant I needed to hear it directly from someones mouth.
Then I went straight to MAC and dropped a few hundred for my kit hahaha

I don't think you'll need a student ID card in particular. I looked up the US version of the Pro Student membership and I am not sure if it varies between the UK and here, but I think as long as you are enrolled to take the class and have some sort of document stating you are enrolled in the course you should be ok. If you don't have anything on paper stating you're enrolled yet but you are in fact signed up for the course and just see maybe if the school could send you something stating that you are enrolled in their program. And that should work.
Plus a copy of your regular ID and the application + payment. Hoped that helped! And good look! *crosses fingers*
