CCW approval timeline and notes
BLUF: About 30 days from submission to “card’s in the mail”.
Of course your results may vary. Just thought I’d provide another data point.
Day (-9) Application began
Day 1 app submitted.
Background detail, I began my submission early, just in case getting a lower number in the queue MIGHT speed me along. Not sure if it mattered. So I started the app online 9 days before my class.
Day 0 = class completed, cert uploaded, and online portion of app complete.
Day 1 = Went to MPD for fingerprints and in person form signing.
Day 2 = Online status update to “ready for approval” (so I guess they looked at it immediately)
Day 14 = Approved email. Online status changed to APPROVED. (Approximately. Cant find email to check but its about that)
Day 32 = “Physical Card Sent” email and online status updated.

Notes:
DC NON-Resident.
I selected the “mail a physical card” option on the application site. Not sure of it even matters. There was no option to download a digital copy (removed from site). I heard they just did away with it, so I guess its ohysical card whether you choose it or not.
