You will receive an email directing you to proceed with the 16 hour training once you are approved.

Thank you!

Any instructors preferred over the others for the 16hour ccw class?

Just thought I'd share my experience. Mid March I called for initial appointment and I was given July 8th. On July 8th I turned in my paperwork, paid my initial fees and was live scanned. At that time I was told they no longer interview at the time you turn in your application, an interviewer would call within a month. Exactly one week later I got that call, which lasted about 5 minutes. September 9th I received the email telling me to go ahead with the 16hr training. I took the training with Eagle Defense on Sept 14-15. (Would highly recommend James and only $120) on the 16th I called for final appointment and was given Sept 24th. Got it. 6 months start to finish.

I just picked up my renewal permit. I was in and out in 15 minutes. It was the only time I had to go down there. I did my renewal online, and the process was easy. My new permit is plastic, like a credit-card-sized plastic ID. I was told to start the renewal process online again 90 days before expiration in the future. Overall, the new process is smooth and easy!

Nice to see it credit card sized the initial ones were too large no place to put it

When did you start the renewal? I couldn't start mine till the 27th of September.

I had a renewal appointment scheduled in mid-August, but they called and asked if I wanted to do it online instead. I think they wanted people to help test out the new online system, so they sent me a link.

When does your current permit expire?

It fits perfectly behind my Driver's License.

Yesterday was pick-up day for my renewal. I was given the choice to complete the process through permitium.com. It couldn't have been easier. Apply on line 90 days prior to expiration of existing, take training class & set up appointment to pick up. Easy Peasey. Thanks Sheriff Pat Withrow & staff!

That's great news. Thanks for the update.

So it turns out there is a slight glitch in the process...

When the sheriff's office submits to the DOJ, the DOJ says

"hey, there's no thumb print on the new "credit card" CCW"

or something to that effect.

I had to return to the sheriff's office and be thumb printed. My new credit card CCW (with my picture on it) was repossessed, and I was given an old style license with my thumb print on it... but no picture??

All very easy and professional process, just kind of a backwards step IMHO.
