Congrats!!

My saga has been going on since May b/c my fingerprints failed twice!!

This time I went into San Francisco and got electronic prints printed onto a card (not ink...ink kept smudging).

So my app and MO have been cashed for a while, they were just waiting on my prints. They received my prints today. Your timeline gives me hope that within 2 weeks I'll have my card!!

Congrats again

This has been beyond frustrating......

Initial app in June I believe.

First ink prints rejected..
2nd ink prints redone by the same place....rejected
3rd prints I rode an hour train into the city to get prints scanned and printed.....rejected

I'll call back tomorrow and find out if the prints are being rejected or if I am being rejected maybe for some reason?

I don't know what else to do at this point. Go back into the city and tell them they failed and see if they'll redo for free? Buy a kit on Amazon and send in like 10 sets that I roll myself? About ready to give up at this point but I've already put so much into it.

Maybe it’s your fingerprints.

When I had my prints scanned and then printed onto the hard cards, the girl doing the prints explained to me that the machine will indicate immediately whether or not the prints are good. She said that since the machine accepted them, they would be good on the printed cards. She said this when the machine rejected one of the prints and she immediately redid it and the machine accepted it. I think you should call and see what the rejection reason is because that sounds wrong to me if the cards are being rejected.

YA, I thought the same thing. I went to Certifix in San Francisco. That guy does like 10-12 prints a day. I'm pretty sure he knew what he was doing. He did a test print and redid a few fingers to ensure they were all good. I called AZ CCW office and they didn't give a reason.....just said rejected. I'll call Monday morning and find out what's going on.

I did see that my local Sherriff office will do them for $35 for 2 cards. But now I'm in this for like $150 just on prints and postage to send prints in - If they don't accept my Sherrif office prints I don't know what else to do. Or I go back to Certifix and have them redo (I"m guessing they'll redo for free)

I simply cannot believe how easy this was. I am a current CA CCW holder and rolled my own prints.

Mailed: 8/24
Received: 8/28
Approved CCW: picked up from my mailbox today 9/9

In my hands 13 days from receipt, just jaw dropping. :-)

I'm almost going to expire and mailed in my renewal almost 3 months ago.

Email them for status.

I sent my renewal in well ahead of cutoff and thirty days out got a letter reminding me that my license would expire soon.

I went to the bank that issued the Certified Check I used to pay and got a copy of the cancelled check, including the backside which provided the name of the AZDPS employee who endorsed it. I emailed that to AZDPS along with the original application information. five days later the license appeared in my mail.

Sometimes the paperwork gets stuck.

Getting my prints done at the Sherriff tomorrow....this will be my 4th attempt at sending in prints _ If this doesn't work I'll just get a stack of like 10 cards and roll my own and send all 10 cards in

Another fast timeline/turnaround time:

CA CCW Course: 9/2 - 9/3
Sent in AZ App + Money Order: 9/4
MO cashed: 9/14
Permit Issued: 9/11
Physical permit in hand: 9/18

AZ is quicker than CA... still waiting on the chief of my local PD to "sign off" on my permit + pickup...

I just sent an email to them. We shall see.

They emailed me back and stated they issued my permit the same day I emailed them. I guess they are just sitting on the renewals and waiting until someone asks about them to issue.
