Butler Co. Same-Day Issuance for New Applicant
So after months of my (mild) pestering, my wife finally made arrangements today to apply for her LTCF. I'd heard rumors, but never could find anyone to confirm, that Butler Co. will do same-day issuance of the license if you appear with two non-relative references. Of course, I couldn't be bothered to actually call the definitive source because mystery is more fun . Summary is ... they do and did. Went with another couple who could be my wife's references and we could be theirs (one of them also needed one). In and out in less than 15 minutes with two shiny new LTCFs.
The clerk was very nice and helpful. Her greeting was something along the lines of "Looks like you all need some licenses!" with a big smile. She quickly did the data entry, PICS check, photo, and reference interviews.
Big props to the Butler Co. Sheriff's Office! I really appreciate encountering helpful and efficient government service as it's often times rare these days.
Perhaps my search-fu on the forums is weak and this is already in the archives, but I couldn't find it and though I'd share.The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right names.

Re: Butler Co. Same-Day Issuance for New Applicant
The references have to actually be physically present for them to do this?
Evidence suggests that most counties don't even bother contacting the references, and there's at least one county (I can't recall which right now) which issues same day without making your references schlepp down to the courthouse.
Still, I'm happy for you that you didn't have to wait. I suppose it could be worse (i.e. you could have been faced with the likes of Philly's grossly illegal requirements).Last edited by twency; June 14th, 2012 at 09:03 AM.

Re: Butler Co. Same-Day Issuance for New Applicant
Butler does usually check references although when i got mine a few years ago, they only called one IIRC. Having the people present is probably the most efficient way to guarantee same-day issuance -- if they weren't busy perhaps they'd call while you waited but I did not ask.
Guess you mostly hear the bad about issuance and not the good. I am glad to hear other places are fast and painless too. Guess most people post about Philly and Delco which sound terrible.The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right names.
