Once your complaint has been received, it will be thoroughly investigated. You will be notified of the results. We encourage the filing of legitimate complaints to hold the Department and its employees accountable to the public. In order to determine this we ask you to submit an application with basic information that allows us to perform a background and criminal check. Assuming nothing is found that would prohibit you from receiving it, your permit is usually issued within 10 work days.
Renewal is a similar process.
