I think he meant AFTER the interview

Exactly what I meant, thanks.

7/22 for interview, 8/2 for receipt of license...that is a quantum leap faster than what it took for my initial license. Heck, it was almost a year from when I applied to when I got my license, so his 6 months for the whole process is also really quick (relatively).

Quickly? Six and a half months?

[MrBones]

Glad you got it quickly.

Meanwhile, we have people like me going on 5 months waiting for a renewal to finish.

Now is fine.

It takes several weeks for the firearms portion to clear.

Great, will do it ASAP. Appreciate the response.

^^ You should do your livescan at least.

You can do your training if you want but you can still wait until after your interview to do so.

Awesome, thanks. And do I need to do the livescan closer to interview date or now is fine?

I recall it specifically states not to pay online, but the online system does not prevent you from paying online during the application process.

A few weeks before your interview, you will be refunded the online payment amount and then given an additional supporting document list to upload. After the interview, assuming you pass, you will be instructed to perform your LiveScan and complete your CCW training.

I know of people completing their LiveScan and Training PRIOR to the interview, but OCSD specifically recommends against this. I was told it is because they do not want people to complain about being out money if they are denied.

That's why the very last step to getting your permit is paying for it over the phone.

So I submitted my Initial OC CCW Application on 7/22/21. My interview date is 12/8/21. Haven't done training and live scan yet. However, today on 8/2/21, I had my payment refunded and interview rescheduled to 9/22/21. So do you recommend not to do the training and live scan until after my interview on 9/22/21?

I was able to pay online. The web portal confirms payment accepted. I'm with Greg34 on waiting period. This is a long time for renewal so far but stated pretty clearly on OCSD site. One can assume demand is a big factor now. Coming up on a month Naked.

That may be correct. I remember last renewal was Paid at time of pickup. Coming up on 4 months fast, which seems a long time.

Wait time update for license amendment (add a firearm):
Applied: 19-April-2021
Got request for missing documentation: 24-June-2021
Approved: 6-July-2021
Sent payment: 7-July-2021
New license received: 9-July-2021

That's 82 days to add a firearm. In hindsight, I should've applied to add the firearm right when I got it instead of waiting until I had qualified with the firearm and got the certification in hand.

Anyone know the time frame for “adding a gun?” Or have done it recently?
