PA Permit with just the MD Approval?

[crabjoe]

I just got approved for my MD W&C, don't have the physical card yet. Being that I live (Ceciltucky) within a 10 mind drive from PA, I'm planning on getting a PA permit too.

My question is, can I apply for PA Carry permit without the actual MD W&C card, since I have my MD Permit number?

Thanks!

No. You need the MD permit in hand.
You should have it in a week.

You have to upload a copy of it in the portal.

Thanks folks.. I guess I'll have to wait another week for the actual permit.

Once you get it in hand scan front and back of it and your DL and scan it. Apply online and the approval will come back so fast your head will spin.

So I will need a front and back copy of the MD Permit and I'm guessing just the front of my MD drivers license. Can they all be on the same sheet or do I need to upload separate pictures of each? Might I be better off doing it in person at either York or Lancaster's Sheriff's office?

I beieve it has to be done online. I just scanned the front of both together and the back of both together and uploaded both pdf"s. The PA permit will be good for 5 years so you'll have to upload the front and back of your MD permit when you renew also. If you forget to do that the PA permit becomes void

They approved mine in 14 hours. Puts Maryland to shame and makes you realize that MD simply prolongs the process just to impede/discourage/delay you exercising your rights.

No need to guess if you can read and follow instructions. When you do the application online, there will be prompts to upload one picture at a time into specific places. Take a good-quality pic of both sides of both your MD DL and MD HGP, keep them as four separate 'jpg' files, crop and prep them for upload. When you fill out the web form, they'll tell you what to do and when.

It's going to be different depending on which county you go to because they're issued by the sheriff's office.

All I know is that I see a lot of posts here say to go to York, but Lancaster is a hair closer to me... But I might still file in York.

BTW, I tried to look at York's paper application to see what they wanted, but they have a dead link posted. Their online application looks to work fine. I didn't do anything other than look since I don't have my physical MD permit yet.

It done on the county level in PA. Pick the county closest to you that offer it and go to their page.

Thank you. I had went to a few sites but ended up at the PA police for a new permit and saw this. Is there a non resident section/form/site? Sorry. New to this outside of Maryland stuff.

“A VALID Pennsylvania Driver’s License or Non-Drivers ID, along with one (1) acceptable form of proof of residence, all names and addresses must match. NO PO BOXES WILL BE ACCEPTED.”

Try calling their phone # and asking your questions of the source.

PA doesn't have a resident/non-resident permit. It's just the permit. The only catch to getting a PA permit for a non-resident is that you have to have your State's permit 1st.

Adams County also asks for a PA drivers license. Just put your MD one in there and it will work itself out. I had the same question when I applied and didn’t have any issues.

I think there is a non resident permit box you have to check and that is all you need.

When I applied last year Lancaster County didn't issue non resident permits. I went through York County

I too did mine through York County Sheriff's (satellite) Office. Super easy.

Thanks for the info. I’ll do that this next week then.
