Current turn around time.

[Guest tommy62]

A friend is going to the DMV tomorrow to do his application and was asking me the current wait time on a new HCP. Anyone know?

[Oh Shoot]

From most reports, if no glitches in background checks, under a month, a few miracle reports of around 2 weeks.

My renewal has been over 3 months so far, though. Go figger.

Application on 8/2/12, fingerprinted on 8/3/12, hasn't showed up yet, but I haven't really expected it to either.

Update

Received it on aug 25th so 3 weeks total.

Last year several HCP holders were getting permits in 2-3 weeks. I'd wait a month before calling to check on the status. The number of applicants and vacation schedules at Dept. of Safety will affect wait times. I waited (impatiently) for 3 months before calling and it arrived within four days of my call.

So I called yesterday. Gal couldn't give any reason why it hadn't been issued, said would have to refer it to someone else. Supposed to call me. Nada yet.

I'm always on the outer edges of life's bell curves though. Original permit took right at 3 months, seems only phone calls and emails shook it loose even then.

Me and my best friend just got our hcp yesterday. It took 20 days. We went to the Dmv and did fingerprints same day. Not too bad walmart walk to come soon probably Thursday.

My renewal took 3 weeks. Went without for a week, but I was on vacation out of state and not needing to carry then. Staying with family that have the same views about home safety is nice. Procrastination got me. Could have done it early but just kept putting it off for some reason.

[Guest bkelm18]

My renewal is at about the 1 month mark.

[dieewigeteufel]

Mine took 28 days, but I would imagine that the closer it gets to election the longer the wait times are going to get.

After calling Monday with no info forthcoming, and phone call promised, called back today (Wed), said "issued yesterday".

For me at least, it's the same ole dysfunctional process as it was 4 years ago. Will be 3.5 months since I got acknowledgement letter, and seems if I had never called it would never have been issued.

Just got my renewal today. Took about a month. New permit style looks odd. Made of thinner plastic too. Seems kinda flimsy.

Received my HCP today....took a little over two weeks from the date of application and fingerprinting.

[surfabilly]

mine surprised me in the mail this afternoon. 15 days from application to mailbox.

[Guest Mick6R]

14 business days here. I was quite surprised to find it in the mailbox Monday afternoon.

[Guest BungieCord]

24 calendar days by mail.

I received the receipt by mail in four calendar days, and the expired HCP is valid if you also are in possession of the receipt for its renewal.

[nickstone]

3 weeks total for me. 15 business days.

[chrisw670]

I completed the safety class today. Going down to the DMV on Monday to get things rolling. We'll see how long it takes. Hopefully, not too long.

[Guest tchristian]

hmm...Turned in my paperwork and prints at the end of june...never received an acknowledgment letter or anything, and still dont have my permit. Guess I'll give them a shout tomorrow.

Once it's "issued", it's usually 4-5 working days in your hand.
