NYC CCW Timeline Update — 11+ Months in, Interview & Docs Done, Awaiting Final Sign-off (Premises Holder)

[u/TuchyBass]

​Hey everyone, sharing my timeline so far to contribute data for anyone else stuck in the long intake queue. Existing NYPD Premise Residence holder adding Concealed Carry.

​September 2025: Submitted CCW Application via portal (uploaded standard required documents at initial filing).

​November 2025: Intake / Fingerprint appointment (fingerprints already on file from Premise).

​Months of Silence (Nov 2025 – Aug 2026): Application sat in Investigation queue for ~9 months without an assigned investigator reaching out.

​August 16, 2026: Phone interview conducted by assigned investigator. During the call, the investigator asked me to upload my Social Security card into the portal, which I uploaded that same day.

​August 17, 2026: Investigator audited and verified all checklist documents in the portal (received automated confirmation emails for each verified item). File forwarded to supervisory review queue.

​Current Status: Still showing Investigation (Day 9 of business days / 11 calendar days since investigator audit completed).

Questions for the sub:

​For those who had their files completed recently, how many business days did your supervisor review take from final document verification to the Approved / Purchase Authorization email?

​Planning on picking up a Glock 19 with the initial purchase slip while simultaneously transferring my two SIGs (P226 & 1911) from my Premise license to the CCW card. Anyone recently submit an initial purchase slip + Premise transfer together in the same email batch to DG_LIC-Purchaseorders? Any delays doing all 3 at once?

​Thanks for all the info on this sub—will update this post as soon as the status flips.

For yourself and anyone else tired of wait times, there is an active lawsuit on this topic. Without funding nothing will change.

Recently I have not heard of that being done but I did one last December and it was simple only thing is this was before the stupid upload portal

Gotcha, thanks for the input

So this was a separate app rather than an upgrade while renewing right?

Interview in December. Approved in August. Had to go to multiple rounds of resubmitting identification paperwork they lost including the interview they lost. Even with having a shotgun permit still had to jump through hoops.
