splashback Posted March 25, 2015 at 04:19 PM Share Posted March 25, 2015 at 04:19 PM Hello everyone,I applied on 2/20/15 without prints- the instructors in the course I took suggested not doing prints because it does not take much longer to get approved.Realistically, with having no prints done, what kind of timeline can I expect to be approved, and actually having my license in hand.Thanks in advance for your input.

Bubbacs Posted March 25, 2015 at 05:10 PM Share Posted March 25, 2015 at 05:10 PM Without hi-jacking/subject changing........Wonder how many instructors, when applying EARLY last year to get the jump on training, actually submitted with prints?I now ask and wonder out loud as I see more and more posts from students saying the instructors say to apply without.There are more than 17 threads about getting approved in 30 days WITH prints and getting the actual card soon after.Many posts about the 90 plus days WITHOUT prints. My point is, if you want the license faster (who knows) then prints is the way to go!Also several posts are about being denied (short term) without prints due to being confused with other people with similar names. Just FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just FYI.Bubba, Instructors had to send "prints" with their original "Certified Instructor Application". When the time came for us to apply for our permit to carry the ISP referenced our original prints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbacs Posted March 25, 2015 at 06:00 PM Share Posted March 25, 2015 at 06:00 PM @hrlydrvrYeah good to know, instructors info isn't the average mans cup o joe! But I was wondering if, based on the posts, they were telling students to save the fee and prolong the wait, or even asking if the student was in a bit of a hurry, as most are, and the time frames listed. Not hating on instructors.......just speaking.And again.....Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I leave the decision of whether to get prints or not to the student. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praetor330 Posted March 25, 2015 at 09:46 PM Share Posted March 25, 2015 at 09:46 PM I also applied mid february. My instructor told me about 90 days. I submitted without prints, I didn't feel the need to pay extra and I can easily wait an extra 2 months. I need the time to research, try then buy a carry piece + gear.

Bitter Clinger Posted March 27, 2015 at 11:05 AM Share Posted March 27, 2015 at 11:05 AM Question about prints. When you submit prints, do they stay on file forever with the ISP / Government, or are they destroyed right after being used for verification? I wouldn't mind submitting prints if it was only used for verification, but I do NOT want any of biometric info in some permanent file with the government.

doczub Posted March 28, 2015 at 01:39 AM Share Posted March 28, 2015 at 01:39 AM i was also told it doesnt make a difference with or without prints, and its mainly based on how unique your name is. I applied two weeks ago on monday.What is the average price for prints?is there a good place in the NW suburbs?Or should I just go to my local police dept Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milq Posted March 28, 2015 at 01:52 AM Share Posted March 28, 2015 at 01:52 AM Prints around my area are $60 minimum. I'm betting it'll be higher up your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be an approved vendor of the State Of IL. And how unique your name is doesn't have anything to do with it unless your name is Bob Smith then I am sure prints could help. And it does make a huge difference time wise with/without prints. Good luck be patient and be responsible once you are granted this extremely wonderful privilege.

Good luck be patient and be responsible once you are granted this extremely wonderful privilege. More specifically, only some police and sheriffs are registered to perform non-criminal prints. Those agencies are out there, but simply having a LiveScan terminal doesn't mean they can perform prints for school workers or CCL applicants.
