UPS store said they did them but couldn't give me a price on the phone for some reason. THey said "it depends" and couldn't give me a ballpark number.

Try elsewhere!
At the time I think it was $20 each but that was 5+ years ago.
Some PD's will do them or so I have heard.

Thanks for the pricing info!

I called around and found a place $25 per card! I'm hitting that place up tomorrow. It's a UPS store so I'll have all my other paper work ready to go and I should be able to send it to AZ right from the UPS store unless they require USPS for some reason. I gotta check that out to be sure.

It goes to a PO Box so probably needs to go regular USPS.
Good luck!!

Great point! I have to get a money order anyway and I believe my local post office handles that. I'll swing by UPS to get me 2 fingerprint cards, then go to post office to get money order and send it all off in their priority envelope!

So far it's been pretty painless. Thanks again!

[TheNinja]

I actually sent in all my information yesterday. VERY easy to do. I wish all states would make it this easy as is our right. I hope my fingerprints turned out good and not smudged.

Anyway
Application Fee = $60
Priority Mail = $10
Fingerprint 2 cards = $50

$120 total for the entire process thus far.

I'm not sure the current timeframe as far as how long it is taking. I'm guess I'll be waiting at least 2 months or more given the sheer number of requests AZ appears to be having.

[Wholagan]

Should be quicker than that. I submitted my application Monday of last week (5/8) and received an email yesterday that it was going out in the mail today.

Well that would be fantastic!!!

Which begs the question. How can AZ process these things so quickly and efficiently with CoCo county here in California has been taking literally 8-10 months!!!?!?

Absolutely ridiculous.

They have been all over the place with timeframes. If you read past posts they have been issuing in a few weeks to many, many months.

[StihlTurning]

Mailed packet 3/23. Called 5/8, permit arrived 5/15.

Hit or miss. But seems like if you ping them after a delay - email or phone - they get it moving.

That was my experience

Package was delivered today. I'll give them a month or so and then hit them up for status. It seems to be like you said, whenever someone reaches out for status update they seem to process that application within a few days.

[Old Marine]

mine was sent early, like 5 weeks still took 7 weeks.They have a surge I was told.

[DProm]

Just dropped off my application packet at the post office today.

[Wholagan]

Timeline for me:

-Application sent 5/8
-Delivery confirmation 5/10
-USPS money order clears 5/15 and I emailed just checking up on the receipt of application that same day.
-Received an email saying my background was manually cleared and will be in mail on 5/16
- received in mail 5/22

2 weeks total.

Does copies of my CA CCW suffice still for proof of firearms safety?

Also, under 'Firearms Qualification And Statutory Review Affidavit' does the issuing agency for my CA CCW go under 'Name of Organization?'

Thanks!

It should be a separate certificate from your training that is for AZ CCW permit. Name of organization should be the CCW training class you took.

If someone corrects me then I apologize.

When I took my CCW training I paid an extra fee for another certificate to submit for AZ CCW.

A copy of your CCW would have been good enough. Or a DD214 if you had been in the military.

Doesn't say anything about a copy of CCW for required documents on the application.

I didn't say it was a required document.
I said it meets your training requirements.

Why are you quoting me? I am FULLY aware of what it says and that is what I told Dprom.

[TheNinja]

I just used my hunter's safety card from Califorina. It sounds like that will work fine.

Also just checked and my money order was cashed this past week

Just for informational purposes, I charge $25 total for the two cards required for AZ. I do it to promote CCW and not to make a profit.

[rmagayanes]

Does anybody know if there's an online portal to check the status of the application? I applied for my non-resident through Dobbs Firearms Training here in NorCal while I was renewing my CA CCW permit. The instructor was telling the class that some were waiting over a year but through the comments on this thread I see that people were getting them in 2 weeks. This is why I wanted to check the status of my app.

How long ago did you submit?

If it?s longer than 8 weeks, wouldn?t be bad to call. No online portal.

I reached out to the licensing dept and so far haven't heard anything...

Currently have my CCW with AZ, recently moved out of state so I had to turn in my CA CCW... I asked them what is needed to update my CCW with my new address and so far, no response

Anyone here know the answer?

I don't know the answer... but here is the contact info for the people that do:
https://www.azdps.gov/services/publi...2#qt-cwp_menu_

When I moved to AZ I think I had my new DL within maybe 2 weeks and emailed them a copy with a copy of my ccw.

If you already have an AZ CCW, you do NOT need to include "proof of training" at renewal time.

[Old Marine]

It took 5 wks and a phone conversation to get my renewal back.

[Toy4Rick]

Re: my new address out of CA which is what I used to get my AZ CCW, spent 58 mins on hold yesterday, when I was connected with a very nice lady, she advised me to go online and submit a change of address request, that's it ��

[DProm]

Just received my AZ CWP today in the mail. I guess next is Utah while I still wait for CA.

AZ Timeline:
Mailed 05/22/23
Received 05/24/23
M.O. cashed 06/05/23
Issued Date on permit 06/03/23
Permit mailed 06/07/23
Permit in mailbox 06/10/23

Congrats!!! I wonder if I'll get mine soon. I sent on 5/17 and it was received a few days later. My MO was cashed in later May. I may check with them Monday or Tuesday to see if I'll get it soon. I have a trip from CA to MN planned in a few weeks, would be nice to be able to CC in every state except CA and MN (and if I go through CO obvoiusly).

Congrats again!

Just out of curiousity. What does Utah non-resident get you that AZ does not already cover?

Thanks! Mines was about 2.5 weeks after they received the application. Only thing that I was confused about is that I check the money order status daily and then it shows cashed on 06/05/23 but the issuing date on the permit is 06/03/23 which I thought was backwards. I didn?t even cal or email them either. Hopefully you get yours soon.

As for Utah non-res, I don?t know. I just see others applying for them too so I figured I can just try too. Unless they aren?t getting AZ and want Utah

Mailed my AZ application from CA in on 5/25/23 and received permit in mailbox on 6/12/23... Very fast indeed!

Nice!! Though I do wonder why I sent mine in before some of you guys (5/17) and haven't received my yet - I'm glad some of you are getting them. If I don't have it in my mailbox today I'll email then tonight and/or call them tomorrow. Maybe give them a little nudge

It's so refreshing to see a state government working the way it is intended to work for CCW instead of this 8-11 month wait for contra costa county here in California

[TheWorm1]

I’m also in the recent group receiving the AZ permit quickly.

Mailed 5/22, they received 5/24, issued 6/3, arrived 6/12

Congrats!! You guys are lucky or doing something right

I mentioned I sent mine in on 5/17. I just talked to someone at AZ CCW and she was very nice and polite. She said they are finishing background check on me and if it goes through they'll send my permit out tomorrow morning. I'm guessing I'd have it end of week then.

But then she said to give it at least a 30 day grace period but that within 30 days I should have received something and if I haven't then I could call after 30 days.

I hope to get in the next 7 business days (don't think I will) as I have a cross country trip planned through a lot of states that honor AZ CCW.

If it keeps getting delayed I may go for UT.

Really? Last year, AZ DPS told me that they no longer sent out renewal notices. I guess they lost too much money from people who didn't renew in time????
