Just found this out, thinking of getting my CCW Non residence Virginia license. Looks like I can't use the MSP....

FOUND A PLACE!!!!
My home town, Centreville, Maryland.

How do I get fingerprinted?

* Go to the Sheriff's Office Monday Thru Friday between the hours of 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM, providing your fingerprint card. There is a fee of $5.00 per card payable to the Office of the Sheriff, Queen Anne's County.

Just use your locals, as noted at the bottom of your post. The AACPD couldn't have been any more efficient in doing mine.

 

[clandestine]

This is correct. They are doing livescan on the MSP level now.

Norton is correct, use the AACO Police.

I got mine at the Carroll County Sheriff's office. They were done by a very nice retired gentleman. He could not have been more courteous and professional, carefully examining the resulting prints and making little notations about scars and rough patches. Those prints went through without a problem.

In contrast, the Duty Officer at MSP in Westminster was an obnoxious jerk, and although the technician himself was okay, that set of prints was returned.

I was fingerprinted for my VA CCP yesterday in Ellicott City at the HoCo shop. They informed me that they were no longer going to be able to fingerprint for Maryland permits. I guess this tracks with your message.

FWIW, a couple years ago I attempted to have MoCo PD fingerprint me for my FL app and they said it had to be done by MSP.

Yeah...what was strange is that I used this same place for my FL CCP; they almost stopped the fingerprinting until I sais it was for VA, not MD....the FL prints were from a couple of months back.

There are two different questions here. Electronic only for MD uses does not address in any way the providing of service to public who brings their own dead tree cards. Most of these are for non firearms purposes.

 

[Maverick0313]

Checked my bank statment and my $100 check for the VA CCP was processed today...was mailed 2/2; hoping this means the paperwork was accepted as correct. will keep you advised.

I'm confused. How does this MD fingerprinting issue affect a VA CCW application?

 

[CMOS]

Does this impact how a class 3 application is handled? In other words, do I still make a pink fingerprint card for the MSP?

 

[wreckdiver]

Is the MSP livescan good enough for Florida non res CCW? I know the FLorida site says fingerprints may be submitted electronically.

I read the instruction booklet and my understanding is that you can only do livescan for FLA CCW if you are getting the livescan in the state of Florida. So you can't get a FLA CCW livescan in MD.
