What kind of timelines have you guys been seeing for hpd to email back the firearm registration forms? It’s been almost 2 weeks since submitting them and just wondering if that’s the normal time?
-
Mine came in about a week. But it would depend on how busy they are. Good thing there is no law that requires you keep the registration. Once you submit it, it's no longer your problem. Just document the submission.

Wow that’s fast. They admit to running a pretty big backlog.
Back in December I waited about a month and then called to check on it, then they sent it.
Same thing just happened to me again, and it turned out the the FFL sent inaccurate information so HPD couldn’t match my doc with theirs - had to take my rifle down there to fix it.
They’re really nice guys (at least when I went) - and it was no problem.
From my experience, if you don’t just get it in a month or so, don’t hesitate to call them. They’re good dudes, very helpful.

Ended up calling to confirm and see where it’s at in the process. They said it was received, but they’re backlogged 400+ so expect 6-8weeks for the emailed registration.

Yep that sounds exactly right.

anybody got any updated data on how long it takes HPD to turn around online-registration? is it still actually 6-8 weeks? or longer? just picked up another long gun from my FFL and he said it's running 2-3 months if you do it online ... :wacko:

Still 2 to 3 months, I picked up a Centurion UC-9 last week and registered it online. I called my friend that works in the permit & registration department. He said they are so backed up atleast 400. Better just to come down and get it registered.

@Jwall_e808 thanks for the update. That's what I was afraid of. You're right, better to just make the trek to downtown and do it in-person at the window. :(

in the name of science, I decided to do my most recent on-line gun registration with the email delivery.
it took 4 weeks plus a couple of days. I guess you could call it 30 calendar days.
there, I did my "community service".

No more online registration for me. Took waaaaaayyyyy past the 2 week mark with me calling to see if they could get my permit emailed to me. Once i waited about 4 weeks and called...found out no one processed the permits for my due date cause there was a holiday before that day. If i didnt call...it would still be pending...haha!!! I go down now..
-
I submit my registrations online cause time is money, and I want to put in the least effort in the scheme. If you submit the form online and you keep proof, then the gun is registered. I can see needing the forms quickly if you need it for military permits or something.

I picked up a Glock frame from my FFL on Dec. 18, 2025. After I got it, I submitted the online registration form and received the confirmation.
With the holidays and everything else going on, I kind of lost track of it. When I finally got around to contacting HPD, they told me the frame had already been registered in person on Dec. 14. I replied that I wasn’t sure how that was possible since Dec. 14 was a Sunday, and the first day I could even pick up my permit was Dec. 17. I actually picked up my permit on Dec. 18 and picked up the frame from my FFL that same day.
I never got a response after that, and life and work got busy again. I’m planning to go down there one day and get it sorted out.
