Philadelpia Now Accepting LTCF Applications via Website

**KAT-21** · February 2nd, 2021, 10:46 PM

I just submitted a renewal app via the site today. The City is now only requiring one proof of residency doc (I remember it being two in the past but I could be wrong). You also have to provide a copy of Driver's License (front and back). Docs are uploaded on the site during the application process. I paid by credit card. They did charge a convenience fee so the total fee was $25.00. You create a password and are assigned an "Order Number" for tracking. You can then log in and check the progress of your application. The process was quick and easy. I am highly impressed. Way to go Philly PD!! I just hope they process the application in a timely manner.

You are correct. These changes have been the result of Firearm Policy Coalition's Fetsurka lawsuit against the City. We continue to try to get even more changes from the City. https://www.firearmspolicy.org/philadelphia

Another good job Joshua! My daughter has her appointment to pick up on Wednesday. You're the man!

Nice work once again! Thanks for what you do for the 2A community.

I submitted my documents and after a computer glitch where I had to resubmit the actual application, I was given the All Clear in less than 24 hours. The longest part of the process is waiting for the appointment to pay up and have my picture taken (which is at the beginning of March).

I'm impressed by how quickly it all works compared to the jugf--k of trying to do it in person.

Application submitted on 2/2/21; application approved on 3/8/21; appt. for picked up: 5/18/21. I can't believe they can get away with this BS!!

My current permit expired last week. I know the Governor issued an extension for the end of March. I can only hope there will be another extension.

Picked up my Phila county permit last week. I too was surprised that it was rather quick as I had submitted the application in February and received the "OK" very shortly thereafter. Only delay was getting the appointment scheduled.

PS for anyone who is driving there, there was plenty of parking on the street (Erie Avenue) across the street from the building. My pickup time was mid-day on a weekday (a vacation day for me, as I was running other errands) so YMMV. I would use St. Christopher's Hospital as a backup as they have an indoor garage but you'd have to pay to use that lot.
