I just got mine too. It was about three or four weeks.

Just got mine too. Mailed from NorCal and it was maybe a week and a half!

Sent my COE docs regular mail on 10/14, received 10/23. Surprisingly fast

Mine came back in two weeks, I was blown away. Anything else from the State takes months, why are they so efficient on COEs?

Because PRISM is watching...they already know everything about you!

Who do you contact to get the required background check documents?

[stephewc]

Mine just came in the mail yesterday. I think it took around 1.5 weeks from mailing to receiving. Very fast in my opinion.

Who do you contact to get the required background check documents?

UPS Store or anyone who is a LiveScan provider.

Who do you contact to get the required background check documents?

First you fill out this application:

http://oag.ca.gov/sites/all/files/pdfs/firearms/forms/coeapp.pdf

The 3rd page of the document above is the Request for LiveScan form (with the top half pre-filled out) that you bring to a LiveScan location.

You can find a location below (with the prices for each vendor):

http://ag.ca.gov/fingerprints/publications/contact.php

After that you just mail off the application form and wait.

Steph has it right, I thought you meant where do you get the docs processed. You have to have them in hand before you visit the LiveScan station.

Thanks. Just thinking that I should get one because I've been doing more training / instructing and handling of firearms lately. What do you folks think the biggest reason for having a COE is?

No 1 in 30 was enough of a reason for me to send in an application.

Edited.

[mag360]

what is the total cost to get it?

[Capybara]

I think I ended up around $115.00 total?
