Call the office in BR and they can tell you if there is a problem or if it's been printed/mailed.
Don't expect the most chattiest person to answer though. Anytime I have called they give off the "I'm too busy to hold a phone in my hand so I'm yelling across a stack of papers at my speakerphone" vibe.

It literally takes about 30 seconds. They look your name up, you say yep, they say the stage of processing its in, and you say thanks.

They tell you when you apply that it will be 6-8 weeks.
I have called twice, and both times I was helped with no issues. They were not able to tell me that something was wrong though. I called one day and was told it had not come back from processing. That same day I received a packet with another fingerprint card in it...

That sucks. I called the office yesterday and was told that my app was approved the day prior(Tuesday) and I dropped off my packet and had my fingerprints taken at LSP HQ on July 15. Was told that it would be mailed out either Monday or Tuesday this coming week. Next Friday will be 6 weeks exactly.
LOL! I've seen that. It's obviously an anti-gun message, but it's still funny. "Silencer....Loudener....and this is for shooting down police helicopters" LOL
I'll probably just wait, like LSP said, why waste theirs (and your) time to get told what you already know: It will get here when it gets here. Calling won't do anything except maybe slow them down by breaking up their concentration (I know how tedious and focused you have to be to do paperwork)

I don't think its wrong to call after a reasonable wait, especially considering all the things that could go wrong (e.g. application accidentally stalls at LSP, application is sent back to you but is lost by usps, approved permit is lost by usps, etc). I called today to check on status of my application (w/ digital prints). I had confirmed receipt by them 6/8. Clerk told me the application has been approved, but not yet mailed as they're out of printing supplies. Should go out in mail next week. She was very polite. Call probably took her less than 15 seconds.

mine was sent out AUG. 7 so I haven't bothered calling about the status (and probably never will unless it starts to get up into the 3 month mark, but I did however call them twice while I was filling out the application because I was in another state and needed some info. both times the lady I talked to was very nice and answered my questions with no problems at all. I was actually EXPECTING a bad attitude both times since I've had horrible phone experiences with other police departments in the past but I was pleasantly surprised.
