Ltcf printable form and how early to apply.

[bripro]

Hello all, I need to admit I’ve been out of the loop a bit this year. I just happened to notice my license to carry firearms expires March 2021. I’m not sure of the current restrictions with Covid and all that jazz but is there a printable form I can have ready when I get there, how soon can I apply and is it still $25 via check? Lancaster County. Thank you and I’m sure if I was better equipped and knowledgeable at searching the forum and Internet it’s been discussed so I appreciate your patience if this is a redundant subject. Brian.

It's never really too early but the new one will expire in five years. It seems like every county is acting differently and I haven't heard a report from Lancaster County. I'd check their website or give them a call.

It is 20 dollars. Any more the. That is a violation of the law.

I believe I just read that the deadline has been extended to 31 Mar 2021

From the link (thanks EM)

THE ONLY FORM OF PAYMENT THAT WILL BE ACCEPTED WILL BE IN THE FORM OF A MONEY ORDER IN THE AMOUNT OF $20.00 MADE PAYABLE TO THE SHERIFF*S OFFICE OF LANCASTER COUNTY. THE APPLICATION ALSO MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A COPY OF THE APPLICANT*S CURRENT DRIVER*S LICENSE. PLEASE INCLUDE A CURRENT EMAIL ADDRESS OR PHONE NUMBER SO WE MAY CONTACT YOU. APPLICATION, MONEY ORDER AND COPY OF CURRENT DRIVER*S LICENSE SHOULD BE MAILED TO:
LANCASTER COUNTY SHERIFF*S OFFICE
50 NORTH DUKE STREET
PO BOX 83480
LANCASTER, PA 17602
Once your application is received and processed by our Office, we will review the application, conduct the investigation we deem necessary, and then notify the applicant of a date and time when they may appear in the Office, complete the process and be issued a License to Carry Permit (or, be informed of a denial of issuance and the process to challenge that decision).

I sent my renewal per the above instructions in late March, received email acknowledgement early April and was called for my in person appointment mid May. The timing was due to the total lockdowns. I believe the process now should be quicker. Lancaster County Sheriff is very 2A friendly.

You all just save me an unnecessary trip to the courthouse. Got exactly what I needed. Thank you.

I got lucky today with mine. I received a notice from my sheriff awhile ago and never opened the envelope until I realized two days ago my permit expired last week. There was nothing in the envelope regarding making an appointment, just a venue change. So I drove down to their office today and walked in. The girl at the counter asked me what time my appointment was so I figured I would have to return since the only parking I could find close by was the 1/2 hour parking spots along the building. She said they could probably fit me in between appointments, but depending on how long the background would take, I may be there some time. She took my paperwork and a picture while I was there at the counter because I was going to go move my car, but then did some clicky clicky on the computer and said "oh, wait, here's your new permit".
I was quite surprised and was only in the building a total of 7 minutes.

Except nothing in the law allows for extensions.
