Actually, it costs them more to process the application than they charge for it. They only charge $35 for the license. The FBI charges them $30.25 to do the background check. Hence, the $65.25. I keep expecting them to charge more for the non-resident permit, but so far, they have not. And still, only $10 to renew.

Hey all! We just finished our Utah instructor renewal class, and wanted to share.

There has been a lot of talk about Utah doing away with the non-resident permit, but trust me, the BCI is committed to keeping it. They recognize that there are many reasons for non-residents to want the Utah permit (cost, reciprocity, eligibility, etc) and they are fighting for your rights as law-abiding gun owners, even though you don't live in Utah.

There have been some problems with Utah processing time, as they have been slammed with applications, just like Texas. They have recently expanded the department (again) and say they are processing in less than 60 days now. (even for non-residents) Their goal is to process applications and issue permits within 30 days. They expect to be there before the end of the year, as soon as they catch up.

All in all, a very good class, and a good experience here in Salt Lake City. So, we are good to go for another 3 years!
