Procedure for getting duplicate HCP

[Guest kirkosaurus]

Took a trip to the store and reached for my wallet to pay and realized I left it at home, along with my DL and HCP. Bad situation as I was carrying the whole time. Unloaded and put my gun in the trunk until I got home.

Now I regret not getting that duplicate back when I renewed my HCP earlier this year to keep in my car. Can I just get a duplicate online or do I need to go a DL center and take a number and wait?

Good news: A duplicate will only set you back $5.

Bad news: You have to apply in person, use the same form (check a different box in the upper right hand corner), and wait the same amount of time as getting a new permit.

Good news: The current wait time for permits is only about 3 weeks.

Correction: You can also apply via snail mail. Call the dept of safety & they'll mail an app to you, then you mail it & a check back to them. There's nowhere to download an app online.

Note that many have stated in the past that a duplicate ordered after the fact is given about same priority as a HCP renewal, which can take much longer than an initial HCP app.

I applied for a duplicate in December and it took 3 weeks

I wish all classes would mention that it can be ordered at the time of application, i did not see the box, but would have checked it when I was there. State could make some additional money by mentioning it to the applicants also.

we tell every class we have to go ahead and make application for the Duplicate when they file for their 1st one... that way they have it. I think everyone should.

The idiots in McMinn county told me it was illegal to get more than one.
