They can give you your license number before your real plastic card arrives.
I lost my license, applied for a replacement, in the interim the local firearms office wrote my number on a piece of paper stamped it and added their phone number for anyone to confirm my status.

My replacement FAL arrived in a couple of weeks, then I found the original. So now I have two copies.
