    Post Lehigh County LTCF renewal - by mail

    Anyone go through the current renewal process for Lehigh County? You have to download and fill out the form, then mail it with a $20 check. Did this a few weeks ago and the check has been cashed. How\when do they contact you and what is the current process for getting a new picture, card etc.? I don't know anyone who has gone through it this way yet and just wondering how long to wait before calling the Sheriff's office.

    Thanks

    I renewed by the mail-in process. Downloaded and sent the form, with my check, on 3 December. Check was cashed 7 December. Radio silence since. Called today to ask for the status of my renewal and got an automated answering and left a message/question. I expect a reply by April.

    Call/email/fax them a reminder of their 45 day statutory obligation, and copy your state reps.

    Just following up on this post. I have written and phoned\left a message at the Sheriff's office and so far, no return or answer. Not concerned as of yet but considering my check has been cashed and I still have no further information, it is a bit concerning.

    Luzerne County resident here. The Sheriff's procedure here was exemplary. I downloaded the renewal form, filled it out, and on 6 January, got a money order from Turkey Hill on my way to the court house and dropped it off in a box reserved for CCW applications just inside the entrance.
    6 days later, 12 Jan., I got a call from the Sheriff's department to come to the County Records facility with my driver's license and old permit on 25 Jan at 11:15 AM. On the morning of 25 Jan., Sheriff's Dept. called and said they had a computer breakdown, and would I like to re-schedule for a time later in the day. Told the girl, "Sure!", and was set up for 2:10 that afternoon. Upon arrival at 2:00 I called from my car that I was there, and she said to come right in. 5 minutes later I was out the door with a brand spanking new CCW card.
    I think they should keep up this practice when this "crisis" is over. Sure beats sitting on a folding chair in a hallway with 50 other applicants for 3 hours.
    Kudos to you, Sheriff Brian Szumski.

    So I wrote to the Sheriff office again and received and almost immediate reply. My LTCF has been processed and I am being sent a renewal\approval letter to keep with my current card. Supposedly this is how Lehigh County is handing this for now and I will be contacted at a future date, once they start doing in person processing again, for a new picture and card.

    I renewed mine in Lehigh by mail a few months ago.

    Sent in the form two weeks later they sent me the approval letter that I should carry to extend my current LTCF until they were doing pictures again. Got a call about 6 weeks after that to schedule a picture appointment at the courthouse. Was in and out in under 10 minutes.

    It was honestly the least painful renewal I have done to date.
