i was wonder in what order should i complete my ccdw application , fingerprinting, newspaper? thank you for the help

I recommend to my students to complete the newspaper ad, references, passport photos and application first, then complete the fingerprinting last .. Fingerprints are only valid for 45 days. Keep in mind that the newspaper ad must run for 1 day, however, you must wait 10 days after the ad runs before you can turn in your all of your paperwork.

I also recommend that you make 2 complete sets of copies of all of your paperwork. You will need to submit all originals, as well as 1 complete set of copies. Keep 1 set of copies for your records.

Hope that helps... Any questions, feel free to ask!!!

Have a nice day!

Only 45 days?! Do you know if they are ink or electronic? That sounds like a state money making scheme to me.
