COE payment question

[KCDS]

uh, i dunno if it is relate to C&R but i'm just gonna ask anyways: I did my fingerprints for the COE today, and the guy charged me $73($32 for DOJ, $19 for FBI and $22 for ?) for gov agencies fees, I asked him if that's included the $22 COE processing fee which supposedly pay by check or MO. He said he dunno and he showed me that's what the computer says. anybody ever pay their $22 this way??

did you pay him a separate LiveScan operator fee in addiition to the $73? If not, it might be that his operator fee was coincidentily $22, which made you assume that the $22 was the CADOJ COE fee.

I think there was another post last week that said the Livescan people were now collecting the DOJ fee. Le'me look...

[Mssr. Eleganté]

Found it. It was actually from last month...

Some Livescan locations are now collecting the $22 DOJ fee so you don't have to send it in.

that might be the case, but if that was the case for the OP, then his out-of-pocket expenses should have been closer to $95-100, than the $73 he said, unless the operator did it for free.

[KCDS]

yea that guy took 25 on top of that 73 so i guess i'm good then

[ke6guj]

probably, but I'd call CADOJ and ask them if there is something that you need to send them showing that you paid the $22 through the livescan operator. Because the instructions still say that you need to "Submit your completed COE application with a $22 check or
money order payable to Department of Justice to:"

hopefully, the $22 is earmarked somehow iwth your ATI# and all you need to do is send in the form.

[KCDS]

so do i mail it to the new address even my paper work has the old one??

so do i mail it to the new address even my paper work has the old one??

the address I see on the form is this:

Department of Justice, Bureau of Firearms - COE, P.O. Box 981118, West Sacramento, CA 95798-1118

if that is not the address you have one your paperwork, then it appears that you ahve questions that need to be answered. In that case:

If you have any questions, please contact the Bureau of Firearms at (916) 263-0295.

You should get charged when you pay for the livescan. I received a phone call today from DOJ. They told me they were going to send my check for $22 back.

I also got a call from DOJ today saying they were sending me back my check. She said she would send it tomorrow with my COE.

They didn't call me but they did send my check back with the COE. Hopefully all this check mailing stuff will motivate the DOJ to update the instructions on the form!!
