--- Quote from: Theodore on May 16, 2012, 04:04:49 PM ---Today was day 60 and two weeks after the last call, so I decided it was time to check again.  Here's how it went:

"Hi, it's been 60 days since I applied for my permit and I'd sort of like to know where it is."

"OK, let me check that for you...still waiting on the background check, be another week and a half.  We're very backed up with applications and renewals..."

"Beg pardon ma'am but it's been 60 days and you guys have 45 days to issue whether or not you've finished the background check and I would like my permit please."

"OK, we'll move it to the top of the pile and get it right out to you."

"Can I come pick it up today?"

"Yes you can."

So I did and now I have it.  The lesson, as always: the squeaky wheel gets the oil, especially if it squeaks politely.

The bigger lesson here: if it's been over 45 days, politely insist that the State Patrol comply with the statutes and issue your permit.  It worked for me, anyway.

Did you call the CID? and where did you pick up your permit?

Theodore:
huskersforever, I called the State Patrol line and was connected to CID, then to the desk that handles the permits.  I picked it up at the CID office in Lincoln.  Not that I'd recommend just walking up to the window and asking for it, mind you - tried that in Iowa when I lived there and it didn't go over very well - I think arranging ahead of time would be better.

HuskerXDM, I live in the Omaha area, Sarpy County.  An hour's drive (and is every street in Lincoln under construction?) but worth the trip.

Things must be getting a little quicker..
My wife and I turned in the paperwork on June 6, and got ours in the mail today, on July 5. I havent checked with our 3rd party that also turned his in the same day yet. I assume he got his as well.

I got mine in 31 Days  ;D

I feel like i can help get people there permits a little quicker.  I called the CID office on my 46th day and inquired about my permit.  They said the process was running about a month behind, so I told them I could come and pick up my permit in person if that was an option.  I then had my CHP in 30 minutes after the phone call. 

So if anyone is in Lincoln and is able to stop by the CID, you should be able to get your permit sooner than 60ish days.  ;)
