Re: Allegheny County LTCF renewal
Obviously, something has occurred between late summer/early fall and now for the renewals to take so long. Back late September, one of my sons turned 21 and he went immediately to get his LTCF. Once he turned the paperwork in, it took exactly 4 days for the yellow card to show up in his mailbox. I'm wondering if there is a problem at all or if they are trying to slow the system down to avoid some of the overwork that may be heppening, meaning overwork by their perception that is. By our's, the more permits out there, the better.

Re: Allegheny County LTCF renewal
When I applied downtown Pittsburgh in person - i handed in the filled out form for my hubby as they said he didnt need to come in if i had all needed paperwork which i had -(no parking fee this way!) Well i got my yellow card within 2 weeks or so and my hubbys "never" came. I called them so often that they knew who i was and finally they said i should have received it weeks ago (close to 45 days now) which we never did see it. They finally said that he was able to just go down, get his pic taken then and got his permit as his approval was on file. This is really strange and i wonder whatever happened to that paper they were supposed to send. I filled mine out right there at time of application but they would not let me fill his out as he wasnt there in person (odd but their rule for whatever reason) - maybe they just messed up and it never got filled out - or the mail? I guess i will never know. But my point to all of this is: Don't wait until close to the 45 days or if you let it expire - you will need to go there again and start the whole process from the beginning!
I think our situation is not the norm - but obviously possible as this happened to us.

Re: Allegheny County LTCF renewal
My data point:
In October, emailed materials out on a Saturday night.
Received approval postcard on following Tuesday.
Procrastinated and when to County office 2 weeks later.
Picture taken, out in 10 minutes.
Don't know why it was quick. Maybe no one picks my name as an alias, or it's rare in the databases?

Re: Allegheny County LTCF renewal
I used a Mac program called Skim to drop in text on top of the fields. Then I "printed" to PDF or something like that.
I have no clue how to actually write in the fields without the full version of Adobe Acrobat.
I didn't sign it. I told them I'd sign it in person at the office.
Probably easier to do it by mail anyways.

Re: Allegheny County LTCF renewal
How much does it cost now In Allegheny County?
When I first got mine in 2008 it took me 10 minutes. Currently mines really beat up. Everything's chipped to hell on it, and I might go back and get a new one. Anyone have an idea on the replacement cost?
EDIT: Nevermind I saw its 25 for both. But should I go an get a new one? Its only 3 years old.Last edited by SteelerBurgh; December 7th, 2010 at 01:54 AM.

Re: Allegheny County LTCF renewal
I just did mine, and it took 4 days for me to get the little yellow card. I noticed that they had a poster up in the office regarding checking people's names against the terrorist watch list, which is why renewals now are not a one-stop deal.
I also noticed the date stamped on my yellow card was the same day I went there to drop off my application.
