No. I have contacted them through email and was told to simply keep calling. I brought it to the attention of my state representative and will see what they advise. My permit renewal was approved in the spring and I still have not been able to make it through to somebody to pick it up.

State Law is Misdemeanor 1 and Above. On the rear of the Application there is a list of Offensives that prohibit someone from obtaining a PA License to Carry.

Parking isn’t a problem. It’s easy to find parking on side streets.

Monday to Friday open 8:30am to 1:00pm

The Erie Ave location is the new Headquarters for the Gun Permit Unit. The 990 Spring Garden location has been closed.

$20, it is the same new or renew, you have to fill all the same paperwork out with pic.

I'm in the same situation. Hopefully someone can give us the answer so we dont waist a trip there. I just lost my wallet with that card inside. Thanks,

You will need to bring the application filled out a $20 money order one passport photo that you can get from Walgreens for about $16 your Pennsylvania state ID or driver's license two proofs of residence no junk mail.

That's my same question.... although we can't have guns in here doesn't mean we can't carry...or keep them in here...it's just the thing is if we not head of house hold we don't can't have bills in our name

600 east Erie

Yes but if the felon is caught with your gun, you are automatically a straw purchaser .(Google that⤴️) sad part is statically, most straw purchaser are women and depending on the relationship, you may get denied anyway.

You can actually get it online just google it PA lic.to carry permit

If you cannot make your scheduled appointment on Saturday then you have to reschedule through your Permitium Account for the next available date.

That is the correct time.

Normally the Unit would be closed, but due to the COVID-19 crisis the Unit will be open for applications by appointment on the 21st, 22nd and 23rd of December

Yes, the Gun Permit Unit is open on Saturdays for applications only by appointment.

"UPDATE: September 20, 2020 The Pennsylvania State Police announced that Governor Tom Wolf has granted an extension to license to carry firearms permits. Permits expired on March 19, 2020 or later have been extended to December 31, 2020. The extension is necessary because some sheriff's departments have been unable to conduct the necessary background investigations for license to carry renewal applications during the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic." from PPD-LTC.com

You have to apply in the county that you reside in. There is an interview process and fingerprints to be taken, so you can't apply by mail, fax or email.

Not yet

20$😃

Come to the Unit with your updated ID. You are not required to update the physical permit. If you still reside in Philadelphia and wish to change it on the permit the is a $25.00 fee.

I think you can but not sure. Couple months ago I was pulled over but I wasn't carrying. When the cops Run my Driver License they figured out I'm "Licence to Carry Firearms". They came to me and asking about my license, my gun and why I didn't tell them. That's why I think you can carry

There is no parking area for visitors. Find a legal parking spot on Erie Avenue.

They should be, but since it's the day after the holiday the mite be close..... Normal hours are M-F 8:30am - 1pm.... They best than I can tell you is to call down there tomorrow to get their business hours for Thanksgiving week.

Find an FFL

Not unless you need to prove citizenship. My advice bring everything they could possibly ask for and more. They denied mine because they couldn't understand dates on a military pay stub and I've used another name. Needless to say, I fixed everything in a second visit, but I live out of state and their hours aren't the best. The application doesn't cover every possible circumstance.

$20 dollar money order, proof of residence with in Philadelphia ie.a utilities bill & car registration will do and if you are a vet your DD-214

21 minimum age

Call Gun Permit Unit and check with them about the time frame and take NRA course asap.

You must come to the Gun Permit unit with the police report.

Maybe...but there an office on Erie across from the Coca-Cola plant and up a bit...600 block

Note that they close at 1:00 everyday!

I think they're close due to the holiday

It takes about thirty days or maybe a little longer but not much I don't believe the weekends count you will receive a letter in the mail stating whether or not you qualify if you do a date to come in within a certain amount of time will be explained in your letter. Good luck.

Its attached to your file that gets sent to the FBI and police departments and such it's on your file when you become permitted to carry....

Only money orders made out to them

You can download the application and instructions for what you need to apply for your license to carry at www.phillypolice.com. You can find it on the forms page.

The wait varies. 3 weeks or in extreme cases 2 to 4 months. Depends on if there is a back log.

Yes you can

I would go to report it at a police station. First.. And then go to 660 e erie ave

Passport photo, 20 dollar money order, photo Id or driver license, proof of residence like utility bill. It has to be two forms of residency.

There's no best day I highly recommend you go early they open at 8:00am and close at 1:00pm...Monday thur Friday closed on the weekend.

I dont see why not

They both should work as proof of residency

They want bills with your address on them. No junk mail.

Its 20 dollars.

Go up to the permit unit to get your revoked paperwork then complete the necessary steps. They probably send it certificate mail and you wasn’t home.

Monday to friday 8:00 am

Yes

Yes you do 2×2 size passport photo so it can go into your file when you apply. Atleast two or three proofs of residency such as bills in your name, drivers licence, a 20 dollar money order, voters registration card, vehicle registration or vehicle insurance card.

You have to do the whole process over. So you'll need everything you needed the first time around. Also bring your old permit with you. I just renewed mine

I would update drivers or non-driver license get a passport photo done like at Walgreens need 2 forms proving address, license and PECI OR PGW BILL

Wednesdays I think

You can get it online or in the office

You need paper bills (they can be bank statements, phone bills) passport, and driver license.

Sign on the door said 1/4. My letter also says I have to pick up my license by 1/4. Hopefully they won't jam me up too bad.

Yeah you will have to go reapply

Monday - Friday 8 30 to 1 pm. Closed on holidays.

Yes , you gotta got to court for it

Yes indeed

If you don't live in the city, you would have to find your local police department to do this. And yes, you physically have to go.

Yup

It really depends on why you were denied

The process is the same as when you first applied. You will need all the required items on the application. You can apply 60 days prior to current permits expiration date.

They will be open

First you will have to file a Police report for the lost permit. You will receive a District Control for the report. Once you have the DC# number then come to the Gun Permit Unit and file a report. After a brief follow up investigation you will be notified by mail about obtaining a replacement card. The fee for a lost/stolen permit is $25.00 upon receiving the replacement permit.

It can take a full 40 day I got mine within 3 weeks it all depends on the background check . Wait the 40 full day if you still haven't gotten anything give them a call on the slip of paper they gave you

Yes, you must obtain a Sportsman License, if you wish to carry a firearm while hunting. Philadelphia County does not issue Sportsman Licenses. They are issued by the city/county Treasury Office, so you will have to contact one of the surround counties.

60 days prior to the expropriation date.

City of Philadelphia

You must have a permit in the state that you reside before obtaining a PA permit. Seeing that you have a LEOSA permit it is not necessary to have a permit issued by PA.

idk.

You don't have to go through the whole process. You can come here and show your updated driver's license and we will update your records. If you wish to have the address changed on your LTC there is a cost of $25.00. It is not required to make the change on the LTC.

I don't understand if your saying you have a license to carry in VIRGINIA But not in Pa? Is that is the case and you are a Virginia resident then you can carry your gun in Pennsylvania for it has reciprocal to the commonwealth. I will worry about transporting it though

Yes a Money Order is Needed and the fee is $20.00

They close at 1pm

We are open Monday thru Friday 8:30am to 1:00pm. Closed on all Major Holidays.

How long is the investigation process?
