Got Mine today. Letter from VSP August 19 just arrived 10-05. Is it just me or does the permit look like it was made by a 1st grader?

I guessed 9th grade print shop class. Resident permits are nothing but a slip of paper w/ no pic.
we're lucky in that regard, but that's about it. VA gets the 2A
ETA-don't try to trim it to fit your wallet either. Once you trim it past the glue, it falls apart.
don't ask how I know.

Lol I'm glad you said that as I was about 10 minutes from trimming it down. I suppose I will carry the permit in a suit case or maybe have it sent to wherever I plan to carry VIA airplane.
I moved so I got a 2nd one with my new address on it. No trimming this time. I shoved it into a corner of my wallet where my cash goes. seems to stay there.
Fits perfectly in a Galls 2-window ID case without trimming (I carry my permits behind my DL in one window, my FD ID & credit cards in the other).
VA needs to make their permits like DL's to fit in a typical man's wallet. I find it kinda funny they haven't.

Hmmm... I was able to laminate my CHP, trim it around the edges and have a clear border and it fits my tiny low-pro wallet.
It's really less of a wallet and more of a card holder.

You have a resident permit right? So you can make it small enough to fit.
The VA NR comes laminated and any attempt to trim it results in tjhe laminate separating and then the contents can fall out.
The NR is 3 3/4" x 2 5/8"'. You could possible trim the top and bottom but not the ends, and it still won't be the size of a normal DL and won't go in a typical wallet CC pocket.

Old thread but I found VA to come back right around the 45 day mark.
My application was delivered 2/10/14. Received the permit 3/22/14.

My last renewal took every bit of 120 days and they were late sending it to me, as my original had expired for a week.
I had to email them and ask where my renewal was. Then it showed up.

I had a va nr cwp when I lived in Md. Va. Sent a change of address card and I carry both cards. The nr lic doesn't expire till 2018 so I just saved the cost and minor hassle of getting a resident license. Speed traps with high fines seems to be an issue, (I haven't been stopped), along with the annual inspection that cost a whopping $20 ! Lol. I saved about 50%on car tags an insurance.
Been here 7mos and still find it hard to believe I don't have to figure out which guns are legal or not,they all are! I giggle to myself when I see the little MD flags on the non MD compliant rifles at Big Dogs shop. The flags are a great idea by the way and they seem to know as much as anyone about Md issues.
I almost hear E.Shell banging away from my house!

Original App: VA received 09/17. I Rcvd Letter from VA dated 09/18. Rcvd permit with Envelope postmarked 11/25. Things seem to be speeding up.
By the way, these permits look like something that could be made in your basement by a fifth grader.

yep. pretty sad given the cheap availability of computers and printers. And the darn thing is too big to put in your wallet's cc pocket
Don't try to trim it either. don't ask how I know this

Is your VA Non-Res still valid if you establish VA residency, even after notifying the VSP?
Are you not required to get a VA resident permit from your county court clerk?
I am trying to find the cite, but I remember reading that a non resident permit is still good with a change of address card from VSP after establishing residency in VA up until the expiration date, at which time you apply to the Court clerk in your county for a permit.
i will keep looking.

This is correct. I believe you and I have posted this before. Just don't remember where I got it, maybe FAQ on VSP website. Anyway, Keep the non resident permit with a VSP change of address card and you are good to go until it expires. But above all be sure to get the address change card.
The VA NR permit actually goes through more background checks than the one issued by the county court clerk. i.e fingerprints and a NICS check. That's why WI honors the VA NR permit but not the resident permit.

Anyone have some recent dates?
Mine went in the mail today so seeing how long a wait might be.
Trying to figure out what comes first, NFA tax stamp sent last week or VA Non Resident CCW.
Which side you on, I'm guessing CCW.
