Does it matter where I apply for my LTCH?

[gregr507]

I plan on applying for my ltch soon. My home is in fishers, but I am living in an apartment in west lafayette until may (when I graduate). If I want to apply, where should I go? Sorry for the dumb question! Thanks in advance

What does your DL say?

 

[gregr507]

My license has my home address (fishers)

 

[redneckmedic]

Your local PD HQ then.

Your local PD HQ then.

If you live in the city limits (as per your DL) then it is your local PD that you need to apply with.

If you live outside the city limits, it will be your county sheriff's office.

- When you apply, spring for the "lifetime" license, and you'll not have to worry about renewing it

 

[gregr507]

Yeah I plan on getting the lifetime license. So I assume I should head back home to fishers to apply since that is the address on my license?

Correct

Alright, thanks a lot

I was also in somewhat of the same situation as you were. I currently live in Bloomington and go to school full time. My addresses have been changing over the past few years due to this and I figured an easy bet would be to head back home (Perm. Address) and apply for my license, so I would avoid having to write the Indiana State Police everytime I moved from one rental to the next. If I were in your situation I would apply back home whenever you get the chance and have a family member mail it back to you when it arrives. The permit cannot be directly mailed to your school address, only your address on your permit. Hope this helps a bit.

you apply where your legal residence is.

where you file taxes , vote, & list on DL.

That is helpful, thanks. I was wondering if I could apply up here since it'd be easier and I have class during the week, but taking a trip home for a day isn't too big of a deal

I moved from IL to IN (Lowell) and am getting ready to apply and I hope to go the L1 and on-line route. I just want to make sure I do it right the first time. I live outside the city limits so if I read this correctly I should go the the country sheriff office in Crown Point not the local PD. Does it really matter? What about going to the State Police Headquarters as there is one right down the street from me?

Sorry for the question but this way different then getting the FOID card in IL and don't want to screw anything up.

Thanks in advance for the help.

my DL reads that my address is in seymour, but i used my current bloomington address when i applied and everything went through fine.

 

[Brimaster]

Thanks whoismunky. I'll plan on getting this taken care of next week.

Whoever shows up to your house when you dial 911 is the agency that you should seek.

 

[Brimaster]

Thanks Indy_Guy_77. That would be the County Sheriff so I did the online form and got the appointment scheduled at L1 this week. Once that's done I'll head to the County sheriff's office to get it all taken care of.

Thanks again for the help.
