Type: | New Application | Submitted: | May. 13, 2010 | | Total Time Taken: | Approx 2 weeks | Total Payment: | $60.00 |
Process: | I paid the single $60 fee in cash .. not sure what else they might have taken.
It took about 10 minutes to complete and submit the application and then another 10 minutes for the finger printing ... overall I was in and out of the building in under 30 minutes. |
Comments: | The people both at the application office and when getting my prints taken were very friendly. They knew what information I needed, which in my case was not the norm (not a US citizen yet), but it all went very smooth.
They said it would take about a month to get the permit, but mine arrived after only about 2 weeks.
Could not have been easier! |
