How to apply for Illinois Carry Concealed License, step by step tutorial

Heads Up !!!

During the process of filling out the application, the site has a section for uploading documents such as Illinois training certificate, DD-214, and prior training documentation. At the completion of the app, when you click to submit payment, it gives you an error message, stating it will accept only one document.

Also, the application rules say "the state can take an additional 30 days to process, if fingerprints are not submitted". The required fingerprints are electronic and you are given a TCN number when they are taken.

The ISP site now tells applicants, "no applications will be accepted without a valid TCN".

My application was accepted at 9:25 PM Jan 4, 2014
 
Thanks- I'll check in. That training sounds like what I want.

Not on Facebook so won't see you there.
No problem, contact me at any time with any questions.



Any idea what time we will he able to apply?
I'm gonna try applying first thing in the mornin.
It is confirmed as of 12:01 AM applicants without finger prints have been applying and able to complete their applications.


As for needing finger prints, that was correct, until today. The ISP rolled out their applications in a BETA program so the website didn't get flooded and turn into another ObamaCare website disaster. Instructors were able to apply on December 18th or 20th I think. Last week the ISP said they would take early applications from applicants with finger prints. As of today it is confirmed applicants without finger prints have completed the application. Finger prints are STILL optional.

Today, January 5th 2014, was the statutory dead line for accepting applications as per the law.
 
I just filled and submitted mine, no problems.
It doesn't reguire dd-214.
I also did not do the finger printing.
Now I just got to wait.
 
Not sure.
My printer was being a punk and I wasn't able to print it. My email just shows confirmation on payment.
It did say I can log on and view the status?
Now I'm curious on my #!

Just tried loging in on my phone just to view it.
I won't let me. Because of Java.

You can log back into the system and click on view application and it will show the application number.

No big deal, just curious as to how many have applied. I predicted between 5k and 10k the first week.

A member of Illinoiscarry.com is reporting that over 6500 new applicants submitted yesterday alone. Numbers are well over 15,000 now.
 
I just looked it up.
I submitted my app on the 5th around 9am and my app # is in the 16ks!!!!
I'm glad I got it in when I did.
 
One thing that's nice that I didn't know.
$50 renewal fee.
I figured good ole IL would hit you up for another $150 every 5 yrs.
