Illinois Concealed Carry Wait Time 2021

Congrats on the card activation! There is an application available from the United States Postal Service that can allow you to track regular mail that is to be delivered to your residence. It is called informed delivery, and is available here https://informeddelivery.usps.com/box/pages/intro/start.action. With my renewal, the card was "scheduled" to be delivered on a Wednesday, and I got in on a Friday. If I did not get it on Friday, I had enough information (including a picture of the envelope) to initiate a claim with the USPS, as well as (if it was lost), documentation for the Illinois State Police to show that it was lost in the mail.

Interesting. I was already signed up for this service but basically never look at the mail section (I just check the package section).  Sure enough on Wednesday it showed a envelope from  the ISP was scanned.  I have yet to actually get that piece of mail yet.  Since yours was delayed until getting it, I will give it up to a week to see if it shows up. Stay tuned…

 But they are supposedly catching up on the backlog....😄😄

 

I wish.   Waiting on my CCL renewal uploaded with class refresher course certificate, prints on file  on July 16th. 2020 ......  443 days ago.   

 

Absolutely ridiculous.    Gotta love Illinois.   Haven't had so much as a parking ticket since I first received my original CCL.   Should be clean as a whistle renewal.

 

At this rate, I'll be signing up for my next CCL renewal class because the license I've yet to receive will be expiring, almost before I get the damn thing.

I was wondering what I should do in this instance.  I have not received my card it was apparently "lost" in the mail.  When I click on the website to report as lost I get told this:

If you have not received your card within that time contact the Firearm Services Bureau Call Center at (217) 782-7980.

 

I have tried calling this number numerous times and can never get anyone to talk to.  Should I fork over another $75 to get the card replaced without getting a hold of them? After waiting the 558 days to go active and now waiting their recommended period of time to report it lost.  

 

This is just my luck.  They shouldn't even advertise that number because you can't reach anyone.  This entire renewal process has been a complete and object failure for me.

Do not report it lost, you do not want to get stuck in that loop.

Once you submit a response to the review board, the only thing you can do is wait on their decision.

I sent them an email.  Hopefully this can get resolved quickly.


579 days since submitting and I can now report that I have my card in hand. Someone got my card in the mail and sent it back to the ISP.  The ISP was basically holding it until I contacted them.  Hope to never go through this lengthy process again!

Does anyone else have a status that shows like mine does? I’ve contacted my rep and the ISP replied that I am covered by COVID rules. I’m a little iffy on carrying with just an email from my Rep and my rental notification in other states.

My 8 month long  CCL renewal shows an issue date,  but has the expiration date as Covid.  I would not feel comfortable with what your expiration date is showing.

Agree with Rmac .... my expiration has shown "COVID-19" as the expiration date, ever since I renewed some 450 days ago.    FYI  My issue date reflects a issue date of  an address change, but kept 2020 expiration date.   The original CCL license was issued the first time in 2015, expired in 2020.   Still waiting for renewal.

Tod- I definitely feel your pain. I was complaining that it took 229 days to renew my CCL (and fingerprints were on file). Having waited 450 days, you definitely have the patience of a Saint. Have you tried contacting your state representative/ senator? They might be able to do an inquiry via an ISP "Liaison". They might be able to get some additional information (or exposure) on a potential issue.

Yippee!   My CCL renewal went ACTIVE today ... 460 days after applying for the renewal.    Hope the new license arrives via USPS in a safe, timely fashion.   But, knowing the state of Illinois, not holding my breath!

I was checking back here because I'm getting nervous about my renewal....I sent in my training certificate March 2021. I guess I'll need to wait quite a while longer. Like others it makes me very nervous carrying in other States with an expired Illinois CCL. Over 200 days expired now and the ISP says "Covid" when I check on status. What a mess.

 

VooDoo
