This permit can be downloaded and completed by the applicant.
The application must be brought to our office - in person - by the applicant (can not accept through US mail or electronically) before the background check can be initiated.
After returning the completed application, the verification process will begin - which takes about 24 hours.
After 24 hours, applicants with an approved background check may return to our office to sign the temporary permit and pay the fee.
