I think that's 2 months.

January -> February = 1 month
February -> March = 1 month
3 days

has anyone used the online app yet... they just recently introduced my county into the pool of counties available i was wondering what the times were on that... they were qouting mere days to weeks due to the online part of the application being reviewed without the need for snail mail and processing.

only thing that has to be done at the office is fingerprinting, paying, and checking your id for address.

I did mine online, it is just about the only way to do it in Indy. Today makes exactly 60 days since I dropped off my app and got fingerprinted. If it doesn't come by Wednesday I am going to call the ISP and, depending on what they tell, send out a few letters to various political figures to explain the situation and the general incompetency of Indiana in manageing their own process.

I also applied online on Jan 16th and I still have not received my permit. If I don't receive it by the end of the week I will probably call but I doubt it will do very much good.

Here's some math for you...a four year LTCH is really like 45-46 months instead to remain in-effect. If you want to be renewed by the expiration, you have to submit months ahead, not several weeks as it could be?

 

[Roadie]

I submitted online, and completed the process at BGPD March 20th. The lady there said they were seeing around 9 weeks. I hope she is right, but I am not holding my breath...

My daughter applied for her lifetime on January 7,2009 and received it March 21,2009.

Actually a 4 yr could be up to 60mo or so. When you have a permit its still valid until your ap gets approved or declined.
IC 35-47-2-6
(b) The period during which an application for the renewal of an existing license may be filed begins one hundred eighty (180) days before the expiration of the existing license. If the application for renewal of an existing license is filed within thirty (30) days of its expiration, the existing license is automatically extended until the application for renewal is passed upon.

Just thought I'd share my experience. I sent in the paperwork and money orders in late December. (lifetime through Greenwood PD) Received the LTCH in late February (almost exactly 8 weeks). Good luck to all those still waiting. We all know they've got a ton to process.

 

[clt46910]

Sent my renewal in today. Upgraded to the lifetime. My present one does not expire until June so I should be good. We will see how long it takes.

Anybody happen to know what the shortest and longest waits have been? Not expecting you to dig through the thread, because I'm sure not.

It seems that they've got it down to about 8 Weeks average. Not many are shorter but 8 weeks seems to be a common theme now.

 

[Pami]

Shortest I've seen is 4 weeks, but that was several years ago. Longest I've seen has been about 4 months. The average these days seems to be about 9-12 weeks.

LTCH arrived today!

My LTCH arrived today, here's the timeline:

_2 Jan 09 - Fingerprinted/submitted paperwork to Lawrence PD
_9 Jan 09 - Lawrence PD money order cashed
27 Jan 09 - State Police money order cashed
20 Mar 09 - Issued date
24 Mar 09 - Postmark on envelope
25 Mar 09 - LTCH received in mailbox


83 days inclusive from Lawrence PD submission -> receipt.
58 days inclusive from State Polie MO cashed -> receipt.

The Lawrence PD handles the forwarding of the documents to the State Police so I have no idea what day that actually occurred.

My wife's license was issued the 17th and mine the 20th. The difference in our license numbers is 1,739. That would average out to about 580 licenses per day. If you figure 5 days a week times 52 weeks minus about 10 holidays that is 250 business days per year times 580 per day = 145,000 licenses issued per year. Of course this is a really rough estimate, there is no way to know if her's or mine was issued early or late in the day.

Called today, the 22nd was the 60 day mark, and they said it was approved and just had not been mailed yet. She said it was actually sitting in the box that would be mailed tomorrow. I still think it is bull that they batch and queue everything but at this point I am just glad to have it in a little over 60 days.
