Have a question for first time application

Post by RPBrown »

Is there a way to scan and upload your class paperwork to the on line application or do you have to mail it in?

My second oldest daughter finally took her class yesterday. This was one of my Christmas gifts to her when she finally said she wanted a CHL. This is the last of all 5 of my kids and their spouses to get it.

it has been many years since I did my application and there was no on line application back then so I didn't know the answer. She is coming over this morning for us to do the on line application.

Just as a note, in case you have not already done the application. There are not as many documents to deal with as there were when you did it manually. Given the fact you said there was no online application at that time. For most applicants the only two things to upload are the CHL-100 and the receipt from getting the prints done. The application site will give you a checklist of the things you need to submit. Make sure you are using a computer connected to a printer.....that will work! They will use the photo from the DL, the old affidavits are done on line, no more finger print cards, etc. It is much easier than it was "back in the day". ;-)

By the way, renewal is even easier.

Good luck.

RP, as your question has been answered by the very knowledgeable people on this forum, I just want to say congrats to you and your daughter! Well done! :clapping: If my daughter would have said that to me, I'd be in the backyard doing cartwheels! :lol:

Thank you folks for the responses. In about 4 years now, I will start working on the grandkids as the oldest will be at "that age". Of course they all love to go shoot with Nonnie and Pawpaw.
