Bucks Co. members, I need your help. UPDATE: Please see post #1

Its been 2 yrs since i got mine...at the Levittown satellite office...so dont remember them saying much of anything there.

But you can ask him why we have to wait a week...

And why we are charged $46 for the plastic card...when other counties still only charge $25 for the same card...

You wait a week because it has to be sent up to the Sheriff's office. They are a satellite office helping you out so you don't have to drive to Doylestown. If you want one without the wait, drive to Doylestown.


The web site says a paper one is still available for $29.00.

I just renewed in Doylestown about 2 weeks ago and not a word was said.

Edit. Actually they treated it as a new application since my previous one was from Montco.

Other than "Concealed Weapons Permit", and spelling errors, does anyone see any problems here? Am I missing anything?

That's what I've always thought. I could be wrong though.

$29.00

Not quite. An upgrade to the new plastic card from the present paper permit is $21.00. Paper permits are still available for $29.00 (two digital photos required, available at our offices for $10).

So is that $29+$10 for the pics? Or does the $29 INCLUDE the $10 for the pics?

and as far as the wait...In a computerized world...why does anything have to go to Doylestown and back? No reason they cant have the licenses at the satellite office...but thats just me

I'm not up to speed on the requirements for Resident Aliens.

Also, resident aliens must provide a valid hunting license.

Is this correct?

Because the Sheriff is not at two places at one time.
