Florida non-resident CCW, in person or in the mail?

[AWE]

My completed timeline for reference

May 12 Mailed
May 15 Florida Received
May 26 Florida Cashed Post Office Money Order
June 15 Letter Received Refile
July 13 Received Permit

62 Days Mailed > Permit in Hand
29 Days Refiled > Permit in Hand

I recommend mailing just some advice over the online filing to avoid delay.

Is there a live fire requirement for FL?

Yes. But doesn’t actually specify rounds shot, more of familiarity.

If you have your CCW, you can use your CCW training cert.

I think FL also accepts Hunter Ed for firearms competence.

My timeline thus far:

7/11 - Online application submitted with correct documentation
7/12 - Sent fingerprints in with processing fee
7/20 - Received confirmation that my fingerprints are being processed

Other factors: Military (FL Expedites processing for AD, RES, and Veterans)

I'll keep this updated!

UPDATE:

7/28 - Online status shows that my license was issued and to allow up to 15 days for my license to be printed and mailed. Not too bad on timing so far!

My girlfriend finally mailed her Florida CCW paperwork off yesterday...trying to find a police dept ...that still does wet ink fingerprinting is getting rare now...and then having to do it on a weekday which means taking a day off of work to have it done isn't great either.
She already has her California, Arizona and Utah permits...so as in mail in CCW s this is the last one...she said the only reason why she went through the trouble of getting Florida is because it's good for 7 years...she will never have to do this again...or at least for quite a while..

I had the same problem with LEO prints most closed for the pandemic with long appointments to plan out. I was trying to get a LEO to roll a few for renewals in a few years they said NO! I tried.

If it wasn't for this crap...she could've had her Florida permit months ago...at least it's done now... Florida needs to upgrade to a live scan fingerprint system...
