Filled out the application online, got finger printed by L1, paid my local fees/finished the application process and it was in my mailbox 6 business days later. Smooth as I could have possibly expected.
My girlfriend got her L1 fingerprint last Friday and stopped at the St. Joseph County Sherriff's office on her way home and it just came in the mail. That's right 4 business days!!!!
Newbie to INGO!
Just updated 4yr to LT and took 6 business days. My father in law (who was a new applicant) received his in under 10days. Electronic finger prints, and online application are given a priority still. When I went with him to pick it up, the administrator commented they always fast track electronic, and "put on the stack" paper. Madison and Hamilton Cty respectively.
Eh. Wonder what is up....where are all these "less than a week" stories originating? I see Ft.Wayne with 6 days...anyone with Marion county story that I just haven't seen yet or may have missed?
After sending mine in the paper route in the end of July, I got on here to see wait time saw that the electronic route was faster. Advised a buddy to go electronic route. He got his back in about a week. As for me I'm still waiting..... going on 8 weeks not impressed
Maybe we could get a mod to publish a statement in the OP that tells the reader that it has been generally seen that the L1 route is faster in most circumstances everywhere in the state.
I did the online renewal to lifetime. On September 14, Friday,
did L1 prints and pay.Went over and paid FWPD same day.
Did the business with a cheerful lady at the glass window.
I received the pink paper yesterday, 26 Sept.
Edit to mention the license issued 21st.

Yes, Marion county here. About a month ago I did the L1 application and I got my license in 7 days, Friday I went and did the fingerprints and the local fee down at the city county building,had my license the following Friday. 5 business days.
The better half's first time Indiana Lifetime LTCH (not a renewal) timeline:
7/16/2012 Fingerprinted at local Sheriff's Dept.
7/17/2012 Fingerprint Card, Application and payment mailed to ISP.
9/19/2012 Fingerprint Card, Application returned. No signature on Fingerprint Card.
9/20/2012 Fingerprint Card signed, and Application mailed back to ISP
9/27/2012 Lifetime LTCH received!
All told, 2 months and a week for a totally manual process. I estimate a week lost because of the missing signature. Either way, go the L1 route!
Well up to about 10 weeks now with nothing......Marion county - and originally from Iowa. Have lived in Indiana for about 3 years now, also just purchased my G22 in March so I know there couldn't be any issue with credentials in that aspect. I suspect they either lost it, or they are scrutinizing me for being an out of state native.
Call them up and give them a nudge! Thats what I had to do. 1-317-232-8264
I went the L1 route and it took them a month and a half. Looks like they need to hire more help if they cant keep up. Its their BS rules......
So, these are likely stupid quesitons... I'm trying to get my LTCH. I live in Indianapolis in IMPD jurisdiction. Where do I go to complete the payment/application, and do I make payment to "Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department"? I completed the app online and have set up my L1 appointment.
You go downtown to the city county building, Washington st and east street maybe? I parked on Washington on the street, go in and turn right at the main hall past the metal detectors, go to the end of the hall, turn right. Its that door there. They accept cash. I had the same question about who to make it for but called and asked about a cash option so I wouldn't need any checks at all and they said cash was fine. Did it that way a month ago and got my license a week later.
They do take a thumb and index print at the city county building to confirm you are who you say you are and that the prints match your L1 prints, which are sent over electronically faster then you can drive from the L1 place because I went straight from L1 to the city county building and they had them.
Great info. Thanks for the help. Wasn't sure if I could go to the local police station to complete or had to go downtown. Knowing that I can use cash makes it easier.
