Geauga County is certainly great. The deputy who was doing the processing when I got mine was also very pleasant.

Didn't we have a guy from Geauga County, who said they did not even require an application? What about you guys?

Yup found it.

I went to Geauga County to renew my CCW, They did not ask for my application and they had a copy of my training certificate in my folder that they keep. I just gave them a picture and of course $55 and was out after being fingerprinted and photographed.

He writes, "they had a copy of my training certificate in my folder that they keep."

When you first apply for you CCL, they create this folder, which is made up of the application, certification, etc. When I went to pick up the license, they pull out the folder, you sign the form that you got it and then they add that page to the folder.

Since this guy says the folder was already in existence, that makes me think that he was going in for a renewal or he's just plain wrong.

Yes, they didn't even want my completed renewal application. The deputy, who is retired and just does CHLs, asked me if anything was different and marked my new address on the original application.
Got a call after a few days and went to pick up my new license. I went in on a Saturday and got a call on Tuesday. I picked up the license the following Saturday. I spent a total of about 30 minutes total renewing and picking up the license. It's about a 50 minute round trip to the Geauga sheriff's office from South Euclid, but given their promptness and courtesy it was worth the drive.

I would also suggest calling them. I had a similar situation with Delaware Co. It turned out that the delay was in their getting a records check from another county in which I once lived. In response to my query, they resubmitted the request to the other county and two weeks later I had my license.

Be polite since the delay may be caused by things they don't control.

thanks for the response rouger, neres. well i finally got a call back from geauga sheriff and told me what the hold up is. when they do a background check on you, if there's any arrest and fingerprint record on file no matter what it is, the state will not tell the sheriff what the the infraction is even if its a non factor in the determination of approval for a carry permit. (in my case it's a 25 year old dui conviction)the information from the state must be mailed to the sheriff in the county of application which he said takes atleast 3 weeks to recieve. so i bet i'll make it to the 45 days before it's all said and done.

Dont drink and drive.

I'm just joshing you. I knew that had to be the problem. Geauga is the best.

[sephiro]

I do have to say geauga is frendly. i talked to them again today and the guy said it could take another 30 days. i said don't you have to give it to me within 45 days? he said by law he's supposed to but said he refuses to issue it to me if he does not have my record.

thanks benjamin, i guess i had to learn the hard way.

[Benjamin.Altose]

I had to learn the hard way too... more than once. But you grow out of that type of stuff. Thankfully the law is more forgiving with youth so it was never an issue for my CHL.

Went on Oct 11 for my renewal, this will be my 3rd renewal in geauga co, as of today I haven’t received my license, the last one I had in the mail in 3 days. They said it could take anywhere from 3 to 45 days to get it and not to call inquiring about it…not sure if I should call the or just wait it out.

[JustaShooter]

Well, you aren't at 45 days yet so I'd continue waiting.

I'm not a fan of sending or trying to receive anything through the U.S.P.S. anymore. Having said that, I received mine from Geauga County in August. It took about a week.
