Remember, it is business days. With regards to renewal, everyone I know that has renewed, including myself has received in such legislated time frame. Also, your current permit is still active during the renewal process unless you let it expire prior to said renewal. Renew in the early four month period before expiration if you are really concerned.
I think the rule states 45 calendar days.
When I first applied, I drove all the way to Lincoln from Omaha because there was a long line and the lady doing the fingerprints was leaving early that day. When I got to Lincoln CID, the lady there said I saved a few days by going to Lincoln....sure.
So on day 44, I called them to check on the status because the next day was the 45th day, and was told it was just approved that morning and would go out with that days mail. So I got it on the 45th day. So according to the rules, they have to issue the permit, but if the record check reveals any disqualifying info, the permit can be canceled.
