Notice: Price Increase

[dendrokeeper]

I just received an application for a non-resident permit and the $35.00 fee was crossed out and in place was written $70.00. I am not sure if this is just for non-resident permits or if it covers resident permits as well.

 

[dendrokeeper]

Ahh. I believe it was a typo on my renewal.

 

[mrjam2jab]

They are doubling the rates...resident and non-resident...as of Oct 1, 2009.

I'm rushing to get mine into the mail...hoping to get the prints done on monday and in mail by tuesday...

 

[dendrokeeper]

So if mine is in the mail by October 1, I should be good with the 35.00

 

[mrjam2jab]

I'm hoping so.

Other states that have raised their rates have accepted everything postmarked by the effective date.

 

[Abacab]

Doh! They must have noticed the number of applicants they were getting and decided to make more money. Ah well. At least it's not like the NH $20 becomes $100 raise.

Non-resident permit

Which state are you talkng about?

 

[Abacab]

Which state are you talkng about?

The very state this thread is located in, Connecticut! :laugh:

I did think Connecticut was awfully cheap when I applied; so did they.

 

[dendrokeeper]

I talked to the pistol unit today. You can submit you application for 35.00 until October 1st! :yu:

Dang it....I may have missed my window!!! I've got everything filled out and notarized...but PA State Police in my area do evening fingerprinting Monday and Thursday and i couldnt make it tonight.....:fie:

The website of the local PD where i work says they do fingerprinting for township residents only...what kinda crap is that? :angry:

ETA: I spoke with a local cop that i know thru work...he said to go to the station and if they give me a problem with it he'll come and do it himself! Nice...i may get it in on time yet...

ETA2: {grumble grumble} I get to the PD after 5. The office cop said to go to was locked. I called his cell and got voice mail. Wait for his call back for 45 minutes...he didnt call...

I did see a sign on bulletin board stating Public printing is done Tue & Wed 10a-2p ONLY. Why offer a service and then only do it certain hours like that???

 

[LVLouisCyphre]

I checked the CT State Police website, it's across the board, resident and non-resident.

 

[dendrokeeper]

Well, they cashed my 35 dollar check last week and my fingerprint check today. I mailed the application on 9/28. Hopefully I will be seeing a new permit soon!

 

[mrjam2jab]

I finally manged to get my prints done yesterday....pisser of it is...I dont see ANYWHERE on the paperwork that said prints had to be done by law enforcement! I also have the apps for FL and VA and they both specifically say "must be done by law enforcement"...so i just assumed CT had to also

So now i just need to get another $35 money order....and drop it in mail...

 

[mrjam2jab]

WHOA!!! Wait a minute!!!

I was just looking to see if they changed the fee amount on line...and i saw this on the DPS-799

Completed State of CT and Federal fingerprint card with $50.00 fee and $19.25 fee payable to DPS for criminal history background checks;

Now there is a 2nd fee associated with the fingerprints???? Where'd the extra 50 charge come from???

Its not on my application that i just mailed out...i put the extra 35 for the 35 to 70 increase but not 50...

They better not send it back to me....

They always had two fees as I remember cutting two cheques for my permit. Obviously they made it more confusing.

 

[mrjam2jab]

Sorry...i didnt paste it all:

Completed State of CT and Federal fingerprint card with $50.00 fee and $19.25 fee payable to DPS for criminal history background checks;
�� Firearms Safety & Use Course Certificate;
�� $70.00 payable to DPS;
�� Completed Application for State Permit to Carry Pistols and Revolvers form (DPS-46-C);

There are 3 fees now....

So what was $35 + $19.25 = $44.25....is now $50 + $19.25 + $70 = $139.25application

 

[dendrokeeper]

That 50 is new. I sent mine in before the deadline, and only included a 35.00 check and the 19.25 check. The paperwork that CT send said nothing of a 50.00 check and they cashed both of my checks.

 

[dendrokeeper]

I just looked at an extra ct application I had, the 7/09 revision.
There are 2 fees- 19.25 and 35.00

The new 10/09 revision has 3
19.25, 50.00, and 70.00

They doubled the application fee and added a 50.00 fingerprint fee.

You get your permit yet? I think they cashed my DPS check first.

 

[dendrokeeper]

No permit yet. I mailed it on 9/28. DPS was cached first and the fingerprint check was cached I think a week later.
