As a person who designs businesses and business processes, this is the kind of thing that drives me crazy. So what is the standard, is it 12 or 24? If there is a written policy, tell us what it is, if not, what does it depend on, what the decider had for lunch that day?

Unless its written in black and white its: Patterns of activity, views of the dept, views of the person processing the application.

Permitium process

I don't know if this has been asked before but I am having trouble getting Permitium to accept my documentation. I tried submitting my scanned (B&W) copies of single page address verification bills and I got a "file too Large" rejection. Same with a scan of my DL and current permit. Has anyone else run into this problem and how did you work around it? Also, if Permitium won't accept Word documents how do you submit your Good Cause statement? Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

9Cal_OC does this also apply to scanned docs? Permitium would not accept single page Png files telling me they were too large.

Anyone that submitted a renewal in late July any timelines on approvals?

I wanted to begin by thanking everyone here for their advice and answers on some common questions. It helped me recently secure my CCW in OC! I have the latest timeline posted below for new applications. My advice to anyone new, if you have a solid good cause, get the training & Livescan completed before your interview. I probably could have had my permit 2 weeks sooner, but better late than never!

7/30 - Application Submitted with a majority of required photos/proof uploaded. Initial interview scheduled 12/22/21
8/2 - Received email bumping up my interview to 9/29
9/16 - Received an email to schedule an interview for 9/18
9/18 - Interview
9/18 - Livescan completed
10/4 - Training completed & certificate uploaded
10/7 - CCW approved & paid for
10/14 - CCW permit received

Hey everyone, so I was lucky enough to get a call for the OCSD asking me about a speeding ticket that was open for me. The representative was kind enough to answer my question “Will my violations result in a denial?”, she asked her superior who said they can’t say for sure, but they would like 12-24 months without any moving violations. She advised me that I could withdraw my application rather than get a denial, which would obviously damage my chances in the future. I decided it was best to withdraw and apply after 1-2 years of no traffic violations. It really sucks but I hope I’m doing the right thing. I feel like this is the smarter play and I’m lucky I was given the scoop before my interview. Do you all feel I made the correct choice? I am playing it very safe, but this is a permit I very much want and need, I’d rather be smart and wait.

I don't recall if the application asks for citations, or for convictions (can someone confirm? I think this was changed recently?). But for the record, traffic school counts as convictions for OCSD purposes. All traffic school does is wipe points off of your DMV record.

Also, any violation you get in a moving car is a citation/conviction (e.g., seat belt, car pool lane) for OCSD purposes, while not being considered a "moving violation" for DMV point purposes.

Anyway, regarding the timing of your app, obviously the advice of the OCSD representative is far more authoritative than anything we can advise upon.

Per the State official application it asks the following:

8. List all traffic violations (moving violations only) and motor vehicle accidents you have had in the last five years. Use additional pages if necessary.

Just curious...where on your timeline did they process your refund?
