New Hampshire nonresident permit wait time

[wimsey1]

Does anyone know the approximate wait time for a NH nonresident permit? I'm going there on vacation in mid-August and was wondering if it is too late to apply. Thanks for any info you can offer.

 

[ntomsw]

14 days.

Mine was just a little over 2 weeks. This was about a year ago, my first NH non-res.

 

[Zappa]

14 days.

Unlike Mass, NH is right on the ball when it comes to this stuff.

I sent mine out and got it back in 7 business days

 

[MA_Shooter]

If resident permits are any indication, it should be fast ( 2 days to process + 2 days for delivery).

Same here - I think I sent it on a Monday and got the permit back the following Wednesday or Thursday

WOW.

FWIW - MA NonRes wait time is 5 months for a 1-year LTC (you renew it, and six months later you send in the next renewal application and your $100).

I'm a mass resident and I sent $100 plus a copy of my LTC, license and boom less than 2 weeks I had it in hand. Super easy, I love NH

14 days.

Not true. It's about 20-30, unless their backlog has gone down.

Yes, I know what the law says, but its really not worth even braying at them about it. By the time you think about complaining, the thing will be in your mailbox.

Oh, by the way those 14 days are not negotiable. Send your application and check by return receipt, So that you have documentation of when it was received. Then count the days. This is not MasShiTchusetts, so we take the 14 day rule very seriously.

Well, the state doesn't. My license and I believe Mark056's both took longer than 14 days. Good luck complaining though, by the time you get a court date it'll be mooted because the thing will be in the mail. The state encounters backlogs every now and then. ETA: strike that, it was when the permit went from 20 to 100 bucks, when that happened, they were backlogged hardcore because everyone was trying to get it while it was still $20. ) I'm sure it will go down to a week or two like it used to be, eventually.

Nonres are processed by the Permits people in Concord, not your local PD. The resident licenses are processed 100% locally. So in a small town there might only be a few permits on deck at the most at any one given time.

Mine took 3 weeks........still a good turn around considering it is a non resident ap. I had no complaints.

 

[cbrxx]

I think mine took 25 to 30 days from the day I dropped at P.O. to the day I received last year.

Mine was 7 days from the day I mailed the application to the day I received it.

What I don't understand is why Maine's non-res application is so freaking complicated compared to NH's. I'm sending in my Maine non-res tomorrow. That's if I can find my damn birth certificate tonight.

That is why I only open carry in Maine. The forms were so complex it made me cry, so I didn't bother.

Maine is not complicated, just muti-page. It's good to have if you travel there.

It's not really complicated, its that it requires a Birth Cert, a Training Cert, and a really long ****ing wait.

Still can't beat Denny Nau in PA. Walk in and 20 minutes later walk out with the license.

 

[bubu]

I dropped mine in the mail on July 5th...we'll see how long it takes. I was hoping for 2 weeks but I'll settle for 20-30 days, no problem.

 

[yanici]

I don't remember exactly, but when I renewed back about a year or two ago, I waited a few months for my renewal for a non-resi. This was when everyone was backed up, including Maine and MA.

 

[dgrafton]

I sent mine in four weeks before the car shoot. Called after three weeks and they said it was already mailed. Came in the mail while I was heading to Monadnock, postmarked two days AFTER I called.

Still a thousand times better than MA, but you may have to keep on them.

It's just like any other paperwork.

Here most towns treat it like taboo paperwork, like they're ****ing gatekeepers.

Ours is 1 year?????? JFC

A recent training cert, IIRC, so I would have to get another one. I don't have a day to kill.

Training certificate has to be no more than 5 years old.

I turned mine in 7 weeks ago in Maine, and I am still waiting. I called today, and she said they are still waiting for 1 of the background checks to come back.

They say 45-60 days right now for processing permits, but I have a feeling, I'll be way past that.

 

[shipwreck]

Mine was under a week. Submitted on a Friday, had it Thursday. Super fast turnaround. Only got it as PA doesn't accept FL non res anymore.

Yup 2 weeks for mine. And they sent a replacement license when I moved and my address changed.
