Wow, they must have gotten slow since I renewed last year. I started the Permitium process on 8/5/24 and got my card on 10/31/24. I hope they're not as slow when I renew next year.
It's been bad the last couple times. The first was of course the hack. Now I think it's pure volume.
 
I officially expire today. I completed my renewal paperwork in July. I received the approved status email on the 3rd. Hopefully the new permit comes in the mail soon. Anyone have a timeline from approved to card in hand? Thank you.
My brother and I submitted our renewal paperwork late September (including training and live fire card). He got an email a few weeks later he was approved but has yet to receive his card. I am still not yet approved. Seems timelines are all over the place and there is no order as to how they do these.
 
Has anyone moved with pending renewal paperwork submitted? I'll be moving next week (still SB county). I know I need to notify them of the move, but what happens with my renewal paperwork that has all my old info, do I need to start over completely? Anyone been in this situation?
 
Has anyone gone through the process and had to get a psych evaluation? Got mine done a little over a week ago and was wondering how long it would take to hear back after the eval.
I Had an interview Oct and havnt heard back . Interviewer told me like up to 5 months . But didn’t need psych evaluation???
 
Does anyone know how far back on the addresses we have to go? I am 73 and cannot remmeber addresses from 50 years when I was single and moving around a lot as a renter or when I was in the Navy and deployed for 6 or 9 months, then home again, then deployed again.
