How long have you folks waited to receive your CCW Permit? When did you apply?
Could someone also fill me in on the process? I completed both the Basic Firearms class and CCW class. Should receive affidavits soon.
I understand that I need to go in person to apply and there’s a checklist but the permits need to be picked up? Mailed?
Hopefully others can use this post to get a sense of wait times.
Thanks!

Average wait time is 2-3 months nowadays. Licenses, not permits, are not emailed. When approved (or denied), the applicant will receive a certified physical letter stating the license is ready for pick up from the registration-side of the police station (or that the license application is denied).
All current forms can be found at HonoluluPD.org. The officers who work the CCW part of the firearms unit help the person fill out the form, so fill out the forms best you can at home and the rest will be fixed when you apply.

Which county are you applying with? Some are quicker than others and will mail cards.

If on Oahu,
I've been waiting almost 3 months. The wait time word on the street is about 3 months. At 4 months, due to the new law passing, you're automatically denied and need to start from zero again, which includes paying another $150 and retaking the shooting qualification (90 days valid for).
If you're approved, you get a certified letter in the mail telling you, and you need to go back to HPD to take your picture and have your CCW card issued on the spot.

My Maui renewal took 10 weeks when I did it at the end of 2023. I've heard it's normally a month but I guess they were busy with the last minute rush.
MPD will also mail the CCW license if provided with a certified mail stamped envelope.

There is already a lawsuit by HIFICO. I know a guy who finally got his after 1 year 2 months.

All these long waits are just a friendly reminder from those in charge as to who holds the hammer on us in this banana republik.

We have no 2A right outside the home, even though Heller said we do. What we have is permission from HI to be able to exercise that right according to their rules.

I applied Feb 14. Got my letter in the mail today to go pick it up. Going in on Wednesday on my day off to pick it up. So for Oahu, mine took a little under 3 months.

I picked up mine today 5/6/24. Applied 1/16/24. Got the letter last Friday in the mail. There was at least 5 others picking up ccw licenses in front of me while I was there along with people picking up their permits to aquire. Wait time was about 1.5 hrs in line including waiting to be called back into the office after presenting letter of approval and my ID to wait for the license to be printed? I think they print it after you show up and present your letter and ID. So anyway total wait time was almost 4 months.

This is what's frustrating with the process, there's no FIFO. Granted the exception that some do take longer for "missing" documents or errors, but I know a good amount of people with zero and totally clean records and some get theirs before others.

I just applied for my ccw today and i can already see that im likely to get jerked around. Ive had no issues with permits to acquire, and i got my permit early for my last purchase in december. But the officer today asked me if i ever needed a physicians letter for my permits to acquire in the past so im already expecting a hold up.
They quoted me the same 2-3 months as per usual but we'll see. Ill start watching the mail in July.

Did the cop ask you as you turned it in? Or call you after, which means they looked into your background?
Unless the cop reviewed your app and it noted some mental health question that was not marked in your favor.

Ccw approval came. 84 days.
It comes regular mail now and not certified.

He asked as i was filling out the forms and checking i had everything. They hadnt started reveiwing anything. It could be nothing but they didnt require it when i bought my last gun a few months ago so it caught my attention.

Looks like they are trying to streamline the process, possibly as a result of the HIFICO settlement posted today.
asking when you apply for anything you might possible be asked for when they do their review later gives you a chance to provide it sooner rather than waiting to be asked later.
maybe.

Update to this.
They asked as i was doing the application because i had answered the mental health portion (as i had before when purchssing the pistol) as it pertains to a condition.
They they said it shoukdnt be a problem, just that "well you know our standards are higher for carry" as if to prime me for a possible rejection.
They called me im late July about 80 days after i applied because they misunderstood the "alias" section i filled out (as directed to by the officer on duty when i applied) and just corrected the i fo on my app over the phone. That seems to be when they started the background check becsuse they told me they jad just stsrted the review.
I got my approval letter yesterday, 110 days from application. Mental health never got brought up i suppose, just my name discrepency. Still miffed that they took over 80 days to even open up my application though.
I am wondering if my mental health history held up the process however as most people seem to be getting their approvals in 80-90 days. Im guessing they called my psych and therapist and dragged the whole thing out. Thank God i don't habe Kaiser red flagging me.

Given my experience and reports from others it honestly just sounds like they dont have many people actually filling that section out and the guy on duty assumed id have a letter like the Kaiser people have had to do.
Didnt streamline much given that they admitted they hadnt even touched my application until it had been over 80 days. Oh well.

I know a bunch of guys with zero things that would cause a delay waiting 100 days now. If HPD can run a permit to acquire in 2 weeks, they can do a CCW in the same or less. It's just that they aren't allocating enough resouces to the CCW section.
The lawsuit settlement gives them 120 days. Try applying in some CA cities, 8 months and nothing. IIRC, there's a lawsuit in CA for that too. I wanna say San DIego, but I'm not sure.

Yeah honestly as soon as that 120 ruling came i just assumed theyd run it out to the end because they can now. Im willing to bet this is intentional now that they have a strict deadline forced on them. Malicious compliance.
(not saying the cops at the desk are doing it thst way, just that i wouldn't be surprised if they made it internal policy from up top)
I think multiple counties/cities in CA have lawsuits. I know the bay area counties were fighting the extreme fees too

The cops doing the paperwork are under staffed. So it's not really their fault. It comes from the brass and budget and lawmakers and anti 2a org's like Everytown and Moms Demand Action. They want all these laws and hoops, which takes more time to process apps. Keep in mind that we're all already gun owners. If we were so dangerous to no be able to CCW, then the guns should be consfiscated too right?
THe prior extra delay was cause of the lawsuit. There were those waiting 8 months and the settlement also agreed that their apps would be processed in like 60 days or something of the settlement agreement. So those guys will take priortiy and divert resource's. We got our CCW's just a little after 90 days and the lawsuit was already filed like 10 days prior.
To be fair, NV has a 120 day law, but they have no permit to acquire or registration. So like I stated, the PTA shows that stuff can be done in 2 weeks if they wanted to.

I mean, keeping the division understaffed is part of policy is all im saying.
Even before ccw, under kealoha, they used to understaff the reg counter and the people working the desk were always complaiming about that.
Its indirect, but its still a policy choice. There was never a reason the counter only could spare one officer like they had at times.
Definitely not blaming the counter guys, just more that they seem to deliberately divert resources, and design needlessly bloated procedures to make it arduous.

Police support these laws and politicians pass it knowing it requires more police resources and take cops off patrol. They know the tradeoffs they're making.

I believe it is deliberate. They won't make this process easy when it's no secret how our politicians and LE leaders feel about this. Just do the minimum.
Taking too long? Ainokea is their attitude.

Kauai was smooth. I coulda made it easier had I printed and filled the app out at home; didn't know that was possible. Just about one month maybe a few days less to get LTC approval. Could be that load is lighter here on Kauai maybe.

Envelope with my application? Or pay 5$ more? Or a box of krispy cremes? Thanks for the help on this

Submitted my application today. They told me wait time is 3-4 months :wtf:
-
I am stilling waiting after the 3 month period.
There are at least 3 other people that I know of tracking their applications.
I submitted mine on June 12
My buddies are on June 3 and 4th with no success.
I did just hear that someone that submitted their app a few weeks after all of our submissions just got their letter.
Again, they do not go in sequence(FIFO)
I will reply when I get my letter so the timelines are documented for someone asking in the future.

Applied on June 19th. Passed the 3 month mark. Nothing in the mail yet for me. Hope I get something in the mail soon...

I wonder where the bottleneck(s) in the approval process lay.
Is it the filing process?
Probably the background check procedures.
And probably whenever Logan feels like going through the applications.

I went there yesterday. officer looks at every page and makes sure it's filled out correctly. I also have my clearance letter from the psychologist, so there's no need to wait for a reply from kaiser. even if you wait for that, they reply in less than 2 weeks.
background check doesn't take long
so the bottle neck has to be Logan. if he is even signing it himself or they just stamp his signature
when it comes down to it, it doesn't take 3-4 months to get this shit done. it's just complete bullshit :grrr:

they process your PTA in 2 weeks
there is only a few more pages to apply for CCW
why does it take 3-4 months to process your CCW application? don't make no sense other than they just like make us wait a long time. that's the only reason I can see

It's cause they don't want to issue CCW's. HI showed their hand that a background check can be done by 2 weeks.

If on Oahu,
I've been waiting almost 3 months. The wait time word on the street is about 3 months. At 4 months, due to the new law passing, you're automatically denied and need to start from zero again, which includes paying another $150 and retaking the shooting qualification (90 days valid for).
If you're approved, you get a certified letter in the mail telling you, and you need to go back to HPD to take your picture and have your CCW card issued on the spot.
FYI - after 4 months if you’re not approved or denied your application is automatically voided and yes you have to reapply $150 and retake shooting qualifications because it has to be done within 90 days of application. If you’re denied, that’s a whole different process. My approval letter came right around 3 months via regular mail, not certified. I asked HPD about them taking more than 4 months to approve or deny applications, at the time they said none had gone beyond 4 months and that I should get notified in plenty of time before then. I guess one month to spare is considered plenty of time, lol. Also you have to provide your own passport sized photo for your license if approved.
-

The bottleneck is them sitting on the app doing nothimg with it for months.
It's intentional. There's no real inefficiency to correct.

Finally got mine. Just wanted to document for anyone ever looking for this info.
110 days. Wife got hers on 108.
What is still unclear is the registered lower process. I was told different things
I added abother gun yesterday. Officer accepted my application. He said I should've told the guy at the register counter to add "17" to the registration.
I did tell the guy at the counter if he could add "17" and he said no, cause it isn't a Glock 17 slide. Even though I had a complete Agency Arms Slide.
Such absolute bullshit.
The officer said he would modify my registration but since there was no supervisor on site he couldn't do that
My current card was a lower that I had to go back to register as a complete so I did that the same day. Went back to the permit side and they still said it still would be a problem and the officer at the permit side just modified my registration anyways.
Nothing is consistent and dependent on who you get, the process changes.
He then said it'll be fine. So let's wait and see what happens!!!!!

Sorry, a little off topic. For those with an expired CCW, did you have to return your expired card to HPD? If so, how long after it expired did you have to return it? What happens if you don't return it?

There was one other guy waiting, I was sitting about 10 feet away when the officer called him over so I couldn't help but hear him ask if he brought the expired card. He said he didn't have it, the officer said he was supposed to turn it in but (paraphrasing) not huge deal today, just bring it in when convenient as soon as possible.
On another note, instead of separate cards they listed my two carry 9mm on the same card

Thanks, confirmed they had to take another picture.
No one in line either side, went straight to the window, still took about 25 minutes until I left.
-
Going off tangent, but here's a FYI:
Many CCW that you can apply via the mail require a photo. Makes sense as you aren't there to take a pic in person and they do put your pic on the card.
Nevada
You have to take an approved class like how you do in HI. But, the completion doesn't have to be notarized. Which means you get your completion paperwork after the class is over.
NV has 5 stations that take your pic, vs the 1 here. I mean you could count both sides, but in the end its 1 person at a time here.
NV also has 5 fingerprinting stations.
NV has 12 windows for people to hep you. Precovid, there were abotu 40 in line before us and we were helped, printed and photo's in 12 minutes.
NV also takes credit card.
NV doesn't have to show residency, any states drivers license or state ID or passport is acceptable.
NV has no registration, so you don't have to show one. Your CCW is valid for any handgun you own.
They mail your card within 120 days. So there is no need to go back and pick it up.

Factor in the days people took off for the holidays. Thanksgiving, Christmas &, New Year's Eves, and Christmas &, New Year's Days. Even if firearms section personnel are working, the people who need to approve applications or respond to background inquiries are probably taking personal time off.

Anybody else get this ?
The LTC affis I've been using since March of 2023 (all accepted and approved) have never included "out of possible 125"

Getting mine today. Exactly 113 days.

In case anyone else need to contact them. I got a response when I emailed hpdfirearmsunit@honolulu.gov.

HPD also intends to spend $1 million for a new online firearm application system.
“This came out of a lawsuit that was filed against HPD for the long duration it took to file applications for the permit to acquire a license to carry,” Logan said. “So for that, we’ve incorporated trying to buy the software that will provide a 24/7, 365-(day) operational, online application process for individuals; they will no longer have to come down to the station and wait in line.”
“And then we can transfer those personnel who would be at the window helping individuals to do the background checks and speed up the process,” he added, “so that we can get applications out in 120 days. That doesn’t mean that people can’t go up to the window if they need to, but we’re working towards that.”

Approval letter received, 112 days total.

The guy said 4 months. I could die of old age by that time. :rofl:
They need a senior citizen discount too.

It was longer before the lawsuit. You should see some counties in CA, 2 years just to get a RSVP to apply and cost $1500.

CA, commonly called Kommiefornia, is the infringement capital of the world.
Hawaii is the infringement capital of the whole universe.

Don't know if anyone know (or cares), but wondering the routing process for the application. I called asking about an "add-on" question, and the officer / helpful individual looked up my app and said it was routed up for the Chiefs signature. I guess even after the Detectives / Investigator does their thing, they have had applications kicked back because something was missing. I joked with him asking who was gonna sign after the chief retires, or I hope he gets to his stack before he leaves.
I was hunkered down for the 120 day period, but curious the average time after it goes up and is signed and sent out.

Tomorrow is 120 days..

I think ol’ Blangiardi should go on a 120-day pay period, consistent with how he stalls the Bill of Rights.

Picked up permit today. They told me 3 mos. That was about right.

This past Sunday made 120 days. I have not received a letter from HPD. Also, a friend went a few days after me and has not received any letter.

Ok geez - super sorry for all of us to hear that.
Have you contacted them about it?
Maybe “no Chief” chaos? - hope we’re not all part of the next lawsuit against HPD.
Thanks for keeping us all in the loop.
If you’d rather I can do the contacting (nothing special whatsoever about me - it’s just not everyone likes chatting up the police ….). Mine hits 120 in about 3 weeks.

Arizona permit took about 60 days. Im sure they have way more applications than hpd

Yes for sure.
I have the NRA CCW cert too, but haven’t applied online yet. Hope there isn’t a time limit between the certification date and application date - like Honolulu….

Anyone added a gun to there ccw license? Is it too much of a hassle? Do you have to take the range test for the new handgun and then do the paper work and forms and wait 4 months for a new ccw card? Thanks in advance.

From what I was heard, yes!

Yes this is basically verbatim what the Officer told me when I picked mine up 2 weeks ago.

Make sure they don't take your current license when you apply for the new one. You'll want to carry while waiting.
I can see someone there thinking they want to get your current license to process the new. If they ask for it, tell them they can make a copy of it if they need, but you aren't giving it up until your new license is in your hand.
Might not happen, but you should be prepared to decline if asked.

Today marks 3 month wait time on my add-on.
Yes - You will need to qualify with each gun you want to add on (unless someplace will just sign off - not common practice)
Yes - You will need to do paperwork each time you add on (1 or more at a time)
Yes - The full waiting time applies.
I actually thought the add-on might go faster, especially because I did an add-on essentially at the time I picked up my initial license, but like I said, sitting on 3 months as of today.
At least I can still carry now, but weight will be definitely decreased when I get my add-on.

Got my letter today which was dated on the 27th, exactly 3 months in.
I knew it would just come when it did. Guess a trip to HPD soon.

Hey, just to confirm, you’ll need a new CCW certificate from your instructor showing gun info & score, etc., and then ALL of the other paperwork - as if first applying?
Do they ask for more cash for their beer fund?
Thanks in advance for help!
I’ll be going in the stupid direction, from super-light scandium / titanium to heavy as hell steel :wacko:
-
The CCW laws in hawaii are so stupid and unconstitutional that I refuse to participate in the madness.
SHTF scenario is when I will CCW. In a WROL world, it's automatic.

I fully sympathize - but look at it from the other angle.
They were forced into compliance with the Bill of Rights of my country, hating it with every fiber of their miserable totalitarian beings.
Hence I will do my part to force them to comply with what they unlawfully denied me and every other American citizen here.
They detest it. Every CCW permit they issue is a dark spot on their collective mammograms.
That’s pretty much my whole reason for why: The more the better when it comes to raising the anxiety level of the local Khmer Rouge.
They hate us, and they fear us, and that’s sweet to me.

I see your point of view and I like it. I still leave myself open to get a CCW. I'm the type of person that likes to cover my ass at all angles.
Still researching the insurance coverage part, to see if it will serve me adequately in case of an altercation. This is hawaii, after all. Fuckers make up things as they go.

You are prudent in your thinking - always the way to go.
We all know they’d love to destroy any of us for the slightest error on our part, so you have to adjust accordingly.
Can’t behave like you naturally feel like when some cockroach gives you stink-eye for THEIR fuck up on the road, etc.
In my case, it’s actually a really good thing. I go ballistic waaay too easy. I find that now it’s a lot easier to let it go, for multiple reasons …

Almost certainly means you get it in the mail next week.
They run the 120 days out to the bitter, bitter end, due to Ricky Blangifarty.
Have a good weekend!

I got it today, exactly on day 120
