good luck! timing seems to be 90 days exactly. I've heard people had issues with their fingerprint cards not being accepted, so make sure wherever you get them taken does a clean job.

Will Do. I will get them done where I got my prints for my AZ permit. They didn't seem to have any issue with them. I will ask them if they have an extra fingerprint card that I can buy so that I can send both of them in.
Got my CT permit in the mail the other day basically on the 90th day. No complaints though, happy I got it.
thats exactly when mine was issued. You think they are holding them the full 90 days?
Could be, I've read about this happening with other non-residents as well but they could also just be backed up.

Yes, they do. But some people don't have the luxury of living near State Police barracks that are staffed 24/7. I happen to live about 5 miles from Troop HQ. Where I work, however, it's about 35 (driving) miles and nearly an hour drive to HQ. There are two SP barracks in between, but they are really just unstaffed offices.

I went to the call box hanging at one of the non staffed ones near me and told them what I needed, they arrived and did my prints.

I work in manhattan and I went to the local NYPD precinct and got them done for 26 bucks (cards not included) lol. They will do two cards for the $26, but of course CT only sent me one card.
When my AZ paperwork arrived they included two cards. Got the prints done, and next thing I knew, my permit was in the mail.

Yeah they will send someone over I did that before. I told the trooper I was gonna head over last night but it got late. He said its a police station it's open 24 hours. So at 11pm if you want your prints taken head over to the state police barracks.

Another epic case of CT non resident fingerprints. Today I received the envelope with the "fingerprints rejected" BS. This time they sent two fingerprint cards.
I swear they do this shit on purpose. If they know that they fuck around with peoples fingerprints so much why dont they send two fingerprint cards when they originally send the application out!? Its aggravating.
Regardless the fact, heres a tip for any people who might read this to find out about the CT non resident process: After you originally call to order your application, wait a week and then call again to order another application packet. I did this because I was going to keep an extra copy for my wife, but never used it. I could've waited less than a week to receive my second packet so that I can use both cards to send out since I knew they use fingerprints as an excuse all the time, but I got desperate and wanted to just send it out immediately. Now I regret it because maybe that second card would've saved me this trouble now.
Its been over two weeks since I sent my original packet and its NOW that I receive the fingerprint letter. Almost three weeks of wasted time. So take my advice if you're planning on applying for your CT non resident.

DroBrens, i went to my local PD, had the fingerprints done for $5. I guess i was lucky and CT didn't reject mine. I'm not sure what their criteria is but I am at least one case where they accepted them the first time.

That's awesome. I thought they were good since I didn't hear from them in over two weeks. This probably means that they probably have to start the process over when this set of prints reaches them huh?
I paid $26 for my prints in a NYC precinct by my job and I guess they weren't good enough. I got the letter last night, this morning I went back to the precinct, showed the receipt, told them they got rejected and the officer didn't even charge me. As soon as I walked out of the precinct, I went straight to the post office and sent them out.

well hopefully they process yours faster now. We have two people including myself who received theirs 90 days exactly from when they received the application.

How did you fill out the back of the fingerprint card? It asks for business or organization name, address and then the rest is personal info.

yup. Totally expected. Usually exactly halfway through too. I sent 3 copies the 2nd time they played that BS game with me, to insure they couldn't crock me.
the instructions i have say "(front side only, not reverse)"

Thanks. I see that now on the app guide instructions.
I have found older info that isn't very clear but here goes:
Has anyone been approved for a Ct non resident license with a ny restricted (Suffolk county "sportsman")?
Appreciate all the feedback.

Called yesterday for update on wife's CT nonresident - told us they're running up to 5 months. Originally sent in October but came back requesting new prints - smudged (which was BS they were perfect). Resent in January so expect to get it soon.
Actually took my wife that long to get reprinted so that delay on us not CT.

Is CT may issue or shall issue for Full Carry for us non-leo/celebrities/political elites. Would it matter if your NY pistol license is "restricted". (suffolk county does not lift restrictions for us serfs).
