You should phone the case administrator at the bankruptcy court. Ask whether your discharge is being entered. Make sure you have completed your post-bankruptcy debtor education course.

You should check with your attorney or, if you don't have one, the Chapter 7 trustee who is handling your case.

It is possible your file "fell into the crack". Contact your attorney and have him/her contact the court for the status.

If you completed your debtor education counseling and had it forwarded to your attorney for filing you would have received your notice of discharge in the mail directly from the bankruptcy court approximately 60 days from the date of your creditors meeting. About two thirds of the way done the 341 notice is a section labeled deadlines, shortly after that date has passed, as long as no creditors filed an objection, you should have received your notice. Make sure that the court has your correct mailing address.

Call your attorney. You should have received a letter from the court about 2.5 months after your 341 hearing.

Courts usually say not to call them to press them for a discharge until at least 4 months and 2 weeks from the filing of the case. If it has been longer than that, you may want to call the Court about it unless there are assets to be administered in the case. In the end, you really should consult your attorney because there are certain things that can only be ascertained by looking at the case and the documents filed in your case.

Check with your attorney. If you do not have an attorney, check with the court. Normally, Discharge is entered about 2.5 months after the hearing.

You need to check with the Clerk's Office to make sure they have your correct address. You should have your discharge by now or a notice to complete your credit counseling.
