    That is sufficient.
    The CCW cert would work IF it has the instructor's NRA cert and signature.

    I assume one of those qualifies? So my question is, what do I need to submit, and how do I acquire it? Are the resident and non-resident applications the same thing? From what I see on this thread and the FL website, it appears I need to complete an application, fingerprint cards (the same as AZ? where do I get them?), send proof of training (which one of the above listed items would be best to submit?), passport photos, and money. Based on the reported long wait times, I want to make sure I get this right the first time. As "luck" would have it, FL is probably the state I spend the 2nd-most amount of time in, next to CA. Thanks in advance!
    When you request the packet, your pdf application will have a unique tracking number. That will be the tracking number (plus your birthdate) that you will use to check your status online.


    Download the instructions, application (534k), then come back to the page and check the Fingerprint Cards" checkbox.
    When you tap "Continue" it will go to a page where you can request up to 9 fingerprint cards.
    I requested 4 so if any were illegible there would be backups, but my IA used the Livescan machine, and printed directly onto the cards, rather than physically rolling the prints, so all 4 were identical. I sent them anyways

    The cards are pre-stamped in two locations, must be rolled by LE, and the LE information must be written on the upper right corner of the rear of the cards.

    Passport photo and notarized form can be handled at Auto Club... My rep X'd through something on the form and indicated to see an attachment and she used a California compliant form. It was accepted.

    Resident and non-rez are the same app, the only difference is that we can not use the Livescan and have to submit cards, so we also have to pay the card processing fee, so the total is $102.

    FL by law has 90 days to complete the process AFTER THEY BEGIN PROCESSING... but they stay on top of things.

    After you apply, you can check status by going here and inputting the "T" number from your application and birthdate.

      Perfect, thank you CB!
      Settle down, folks. The new "ghost gun" regulations probably don't do what you think they do.

        Oh... and my wife sent both AZ and FL overnight.

        Don't bother... my tracking ID didn't show for 2 or 3 weeks.

            I mailed mine 07 SEP 2016 with my DD214. They received it 12 SEP. The status page still shows it as processing. Mailed AZ at the same time and it's already here. I really expected FL to be much faster. I was just in FL for three weeks. I expected it to arrive either right before I went there or while I was there. Oh well, I'm going back in February.

                Just curious why if you live in CA you are interested in the Florida CCW?

                  1) It allows me to carry legally in FL if/when I visit there.

                  2) It is accepted by ~35 other states, whereas CA is only accepted by ~23 other states, so it allows me to carry legally in a greater number of places I may visit.

                    Bingo.

                    As of the present time, CA+AZ+Florida gives you nothing that Florida alone does not (now that NV accepts both FL and AZ).
                    Likewise, CA+AZ gives you everything that Florida gives you except Florida.

                    So if you have no need or plans to travel to FL, then CA+AZ is cheaper and easier
                    FL is shall issue, but requires a notarized form, passport photo, and prints rolled by LE, plus it's $50 more (plus the fees for the above).
                    The application is basically identical to AZ, little more than the 4473 questions. Training requirements are basically the same except AZ accepts a copy of your CA CCW as proof of training, FL does not.

                      Thanks. Yeah, I have Utah and am waiting on Arizona. I tend not to bring my piece when I fly, so Florida would not be that useful for me living in California.

                        Why not? Flying with a gun isn't particularly difficult or challenging. I travel a lot to the east coast and bring my EDC with me regularly to carry in places such as VA, NC, GA, AL, FL and so on...

                          So, as of today the status page shows the "Inconclusive" message. Doesn't really make sense to me. I've never been convicted of anything. I haven't been arrested for anything my entire adult life. I've never had trouble purchasing a firearm. I got my AZ ccw with no problem and I mailed in both AZ and FL ccw applications at the same time. Frustrating.

                            My License was issued on 12/6. It's in the mail! That WAS fast! My AZ app is still floating around USPS La-la land.

                                Can someone confirm that notary is not longer required. My application doesn't have a place for a notary to sign and I read from one source that it is no liver required.
