Soon to be a Florida Res.

[lukem]

Well I am officially here, just set an appointment on Tuesday to get my FL drivers license. I also applied for my CCW application. I have an honorable discharge from the military so I don't have to take any classes. Is just mailing everything in the best option for me?

I have a friend that also had an honorable discharge and didin`t have to take the class.He mailed his info in and had his permit in less than two weeks.

 

[lukem]

That's good to here!

Get finger prints on computer at police station. Will help hasten.

 

[lukem]

Thanks, I'll do that tomorrow hopefully. What does that cost?

Luke..

not all SO's are capable of the electronic printing...Call, and they will direct you to one that is.

If you go that route, you will speed up your return substancially... There is a modest fee for electronic printing, but it's well worth the time differential in your return...

PS Happy Vet's Day mah fren' All Gave Some, Some Gave All.

My electronic fingerprints in St. Johns county were $42. (Cash, exact change only). I think they are the same all over, but not sure. I think mailing is the only way to submit the package. Mine took 4 weeks.

You can send in a copy of your honorable discharge or your DD214.

Definately include a copy of your discharge.The electronic finger orints are definately faster,but i`m not sure of the price in the tampa area.I know that at least a year ago,they were free at the brooksville station,but they have probably joined the other departments and are charging.Either way,the electronic prints are faster.

I did my electronic prints just across the bridge from you about a year ago. Went in got printed then they gave me a ref number. Went home logged on to there site and paid I believe $39 dollors. Had my permit in less then 2 weeks. Welcome to the tampa area! Let me know if you need directions to the range!! Who knows maybe I'll meet ya there!

Levy countys are free.

I went to downtown tampa dept to get my prints done. It was $5 there and then like $39 online to pay for them. Application is going in the mail today!

Now Luke get out on 275 and drive the speed limit.

Congrats! With the electronic finger prints you should have your permit between 12 and 15 days.

Hope you're enjoying Florida!

 

[lukem]

I really hope I get it that soon! I dropped of the app during lunch. And don't worry, I've been driving the speed limit! My schedule has been so laid back since I got here, I'm never really in a rush to get anywhere.

 

[kwo51]

You are the only one driving the limit.Good for us all and stay safe.
