Hey poplock7
I think evertonroar has the answer. The checks usually take place during working days so since the 24th there have now probably been 3 holiday and 3 weekend days where no-one has been on deck (Christmas, Boxing Day observed day and New Years Day).
Add to that an increase in volume of ID checks from new members and it isn't overly surprising there is some delay. Try to have a little patience over the next few days as I'm sure the PS.com staff will get to your ID check as soon as they can.
No doubt a mod will clarify the state of things when they come on line.
I can confirm the information contained within the site is definitely worth a few days wait!
Good luck.
