    That is correct, mine still said "Processing" when I went in for my interview over a month after my Live Scan and at my interview I was told that the results had already come in some time ago.

      Has anybody put a large number of weapons on their license? I'm wondering how they are going to list them, multiple cards?

        Now that is interesting. It has been showing my scan as "in progress" for quite a while. How long should I wait before asking the CCW-Unit to look at what is going on with it? Is ther any difference between "in progress" and "processing"? At one the online check would show a finished application to be "complete". I am not certain, but believe when I started checking the status it showed that a CA and FBI check was "in progress" and when I later checked it listed those two entries along with "Firearms In Progress".

          Chewy, we were discussing the DOJ phone line for LiveScan process (916) 227-4557). Since it doesn't deal with firearms in progress, I think you are talking about the OCSD system?

            In the past the 'firearms' check at DOJ was the hold up, what was delaying live scans. AFAIK they have also gotten caught up on that process. So if you have an application in process with OCSD and it's been a couple of months I would surely just give them a call for status. They're receptive and happy to check on it for you. If there's a hold up they'll tell you, or may prompt them to check further as well. Stuff has been known to get set aside and delayed. It doesn't hurt to follow up. Email or call - they're there to help.

              This isn't an OCSD but a CALDOJ system called "Applicant Background Check Status". If anyone else would like to use it, it is much quicker to check than the telephonic system. https://applicantstatus.doj.ca.gov/

              Thanks Browneye. One thing I notice is the level of service that OCSD requests is DOJ and FBI. They used to request DOJ, FBI, and Firearms until about a year ago. That may explain why nothing was displayed regarding Firearms, when I first checked the status of my scan.

                Wow, looks like mine was completed in 2 days. Guess the hold up is on the OCSD side.

                  Yep, could very well be. Evidently there was some clerk in some government office somewhere tasked with looking up firearm registrations. When the onslaught of applications happened the waiting period for that look up was taking up to six months.

                  Now with unlimited firearms on your permit my assumption is they've done away with that. Or they have a different way of looking them up.

                  When my daughter was clerking at King Co courts in Seattle she was telling me DROS gave them a window of time to find a reason to turn down a firearm application. If they didn't find anything or couldn't do it in time - the 10 days - then it just went through. I can't say exactly how CA works, but my guess is it's similar if not the same.

                    What burns me is that the DOJ can't complete the firearms check because it is impossible to locate a certain ancient court record, a record of which I have an original carbon copy which was uploaded to OCSD as part of my application for a CCW. I think I had the same trouble when my last DROS ended up being place on an undetermined status by the same DOJ.

                          Thanks. I admire the work you do to keep this thread informative. Has there ever been another Calguns thread this long running?

                              I just saw this and guess I will contact the CCW unit. I noticed what may be a significant change just now when checking my online application page with permitium. Whenever I looked it never listed all the documents that had been uploaded. It now lists numerous documents attached to the file. I can't what the most recently dated one is, but I suppose it may be some kind of response from the DOJ. The entry is several weeks old and would fit with what I believe to be regular reporting times for live scan results.

                                FYI, the DOJ's online Applicant Status Check shows my live scan in progress while facts are that OCSD has received the results and my application is waiting review.
