If you're a regular standard applicant ($140 app fee, or $70 if senior) & born in USA- the ONLY thing you need to send DPS is the CHL-100 form. The company that takes your prints sends those directly to DPS.

So if that's the truth is the "fast fingerprinting application" must be for sending in by snail mail?
I'm wondering why then the "fingerprinting lady" asked to see my "fast application" after she did my fingerprints & she said she had to sign it & told me I have to send it (fast application) myself.

That's what I scanned & downloaded as PDF FILE when I sent it, just a copy, not the original.

If I'm correct, when you do your application online that "barcode gets sent to them.

I was told by a current CHL holder (my co-worker) that the Barcode # is your application # & because I had to send my "fast fingerprint" sheet in myself (the fingerprinting lady said she doesn't do that, I had to myself) as last item that RSD was missing from my "supporting documents",,I sent the barcode sheet along w/it so they would have an application number to go along w/ my fingerprints. From what I've seen here that "most" other fingerprinting places did it for you, that's why I sent it.

Does anybody recommend me to call RSD to make sure they "have received all supporting documents"? Reason is obvious that if you have read much on this site ALOT of folks have sent their documents & 30-60 days later they call & they say "didn't receive" this document or that document,, need to resend.
I sent only 3 items & none were all together or same time, all via website,, all 1 week apart. It has not been 30 days yet since I sent fingerprinting & that was the last item sent.

Today I read on the checklist to submit my DD-214 (somehow missed that) Do you think it will cause a problem that I submitted them separately? I'm hoping to see status updates by the end of the month. Super pumped about being able to carry here.

I would submit your DD-214 the same way as your other paper work except I would send (DD-214) along w/ your barcode paper, from what I know that "barcode" number is your application number. Anybody shed light on that if I'm 100% correct.....????

LOl. oh well, i guess i will follow that link you provided to me. I am almost 100% sure it is still good. i just want to make darn sure. i dont think i have carried for 4 or 5 years. May 'moderator" will read this post and shed some more light....
thank You very much for your help.

My question is, I am going to start carrying again and was just curious and want to make sure that my chl status is still in good standing. I am almost sure it is as i have not even received a traffic ticket. i go to the DPS website and type in my dl and birthdate information in and it pulls up all my information. so would this website also tell me if it was suspended/revoked for some unknown reason.

What's the expiration date on CHL license? is it on your birthday 2016? & when did you get your CHL, 2012? They're usually good for 4yrs. From what I've read on here, almost 99.9% sure it would show you if your licensed were suspended or revoked on that site your talking about & RSD site ALSO & I'm pretty sure moderator would know 100%.

Just click & open drop down box
"renewal handgun license "& put in your CHL number along w/ your personal info & submit question to them. Hope this helps..


Keep Shootin.......

Never mind, got it downloaded (pdf file) & sent! Whooweee, finally, now the REAL WAIT BEGINS, but one step closer..

Hi everybody, I was checking with anyone who would know if I'm suppose to (scan & email) or (snail mail) my FINGERPRINTING SHEET to RSD? Reason I'm asking is cause I've read & been told that the fingerprinting people do it & she (Omega on Mason Rd) said she just signs it & "I'm" supposed to send it, I asked her email or mail & she said she didn't know. I just need finalize this process but wanna get it right. I've already got "supporting documents" email confirmation on Monday for CHL-100 received.
Please answer if know....

Yes, I should be good then, I got the the 1st email confirming application "barcode w/numbers & checklist" was sent successful. (The 2nd email confirming that I sent
CHL-100 in "should be in my inbox (tomorrow) Monday or Tuesday" since I just downloaded (pdf file) & sent in successful on 12/11) & the 3rd confirming the fingerprints sent successful this Thursday 12/17.,, I really am impressed with all the great folks on here willing to help others that are (clueless) like myself lol! on this process but,,,!! finally I got it now cause of this site.
I will update my timeline as it comes & goes. Thursday 12/17 fingerprinting.


Keep Shootin.....

Yes, I did get a "sent successful" I believe is what it said when I sent the CHL-100 and I just "X'ed" out of it. I wasn't sure if before or after the fingerprinting.
I'm sure you're right, probably Monday, if not Monday or Tuesday should I call? Thanks man.

Thanks tbryanh.
Ok, I did online application on 12/4/15 & I have down loaded CHL-100 (12-11-15) & sent that, should I be expecting a confirmation email yet even though my fingerprinting is not done yet (appt 12/17/15) or should I be expecting an email confirmation AFTER Fingerprinting is done? I would think I would have gotten the email confirming I sent app & CHL-100.




Keep Shootin....

New CHL APPLICATION,
I filled out the application where it you can "log off" & come back later?? , do I have to fill out the off file application too? It seem like to me you would be sending an application twice?? I'm sorry for little ignorance but I'm very new at this CHL application process. Can someone tell me if I have to do the first application & then after I get CHL-100 & fingerprints and then fill the PDFs file application in also? Please just say yes both or no the first only.
Thank you for your kind patience.
