Final timeline:

Renewal Application Submitted/Paid: 7/28/2025

Shoot Qual (Bay Area Tactical): 9/21/2025
Online Lecture (Bay Area Tactical): 9/24/2025
Training Certificate/Shoot Qual Documents Uploaded to Permitium: 9/25/2025
SFPD CCW Unit Contact (acknowledging receipt of training/qual docs): 9/26/2025
Email to SFPD CCW Unit on Status Update: 10/15/2025 - SFPD CCW unit claimed Chief was busy and his 10/10 signing was delayed 2 weeks.

Overall, a smooth process. My renewal could have been in my possession much earlier if I didn't lag on getting the training/qual done - I imagine it would have shortened my 3 month process down to 2 if I was more timely.

Having the new ID-style card beats my old folded up laminated paper - I'm glad this thing fits now!
