********************************************* Concealed Carry Instructor Notification ***************************************
Pursuant to Firearm Concealed Carry Act (430 ILCS 66), the Illinois State Police is required to approve Concealed Carry Firearm Instructors. As part of this approval process, a full set of fingerprints must be submitted on the Fee Applicant form to the Department in an electronic format for all Concealed Carry Firearm Instructor Applicants.
The fingerprints are required to be submitted to the State and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). It is imperative that only "INSTRUCTORS" be submitted at this time. It is also imperative that each live scan fingerprint vendor provide each "Instructor" with the Transaction Control Number (TCN), before departing your facility.
The NCIC ORI to use for this purpose is: ***REMOVED***
The Purpose Code or Reason Fingerprinted will be: ***REMOVED***
You are reminded to collect all fees (State $15.00 National $16.50 Total $31.50) plus your fingerprinting service fee. Your agencies Cost Center should be utilized in the transaction, as the Firearm Services Bureau (FSB) does not have a draw down account with the Illinois State Police.
The applicant may arrive with a Concealed Carry Instructor Authorization Form, this form is to be retained by the applicant as it will be required to be mailed into the State Police along with other pertinent documentation. I ask that each live scan vendor fill in the TCN field for the applicant on this form prior to departure. If the applicant does not arrive with this Authorization form in hand, please ensure a receipt is provided to the applicant containing the TCN once prints have been submitted to ISP.
The application process will require this TCN before the instructor can proceed with the application. The application is not yet available to the applicants nor is the authorization form. All should be available soon via the ISP web page www.isp.state.il.us. In the interim, all responses sent to the Firearm Services Bureau as a result of these Fee Applicant transaction will be forward to FSB to be linked up with the application for the individual once submitted.
Please fell free to call me with any questions you may have.
Note: Instructions on Conceal Carry Firearm licensees will be forthcoming.
DO NOT FINGERPRINT CONCEALED CARRY FIREARM LICENSEES UNTIL YOU ARE NOTIFIED TO DO SO FROM THE ILLINOIS STATE POLICE.
NOTE: I removed the purpose code and ORI, because it is meaningless to a non-fingerprint vendor and I do not know if I am permitted to share that.
