My understanding is that they still have to wait on the sheriff to complete his background check before they can proceed, at least that's the way the law reads. Did something change?

The only thing I see the online application doing is allowing OSBI to establish a file pending the results from your sheriff. If the sheriff drags his feet with prints and BC then I'm not really sure that will speed things up too much. Maybe though, we'll see!


When the sheriff's office finishes it's own background check, then it's sent to the local city where the applicant lives. Total time 14 days to complete the process, If the city doesn't respond to the background check, the background check is sent to OSBI and OSBI will contact the local city to finish the background check.

I know...that's my point. Since the "online app" doesn't allow the applicant to forgo the sheriff's portion of the process, I don't really see it speeding things up much, if at all. Especially considering that most of the delays have been blamed on the sheriffs offices.

I'll doublecheck when I get home, but pretty sure the letter I got said that OSBI will start processing within 1 business day of the application.

I submitted my app online. It was not a new permit but an expired renewal so I still had to run over the the OK County sheriff to get prints redone. I did everything on January 17th. We'll see how long it takes to get my permit. One of the time savers with the online app is that you can upload a picture rather than having to go get a passport photo.

Ok I received my permit approved on 2/13. That was a pretty quick turnaround. Less than 30 days

I know a few who have, you can take the pic yourself and upload it, IE cell phone, etc, or can scan one in, or get your passport photo put on a cd/flash drive when you go to Walgreens/Walmart.
