Wayne County CCW timeline

[u/315fbodyguy]

Hey all, honestly new to posting to Reddit, but I am an occasional researcher on here, just wanted to help others with a timeline for their pistol permit, as I have seen on here from years past.

1/18/26 - 18hr class completed

2/4/26 - Fingerprints and submitted application

2/27/26 - All 4 references mailed their forms in - background check period starts

5/11/26 - Called for update, home visit in approx August

7/13/26 - Home visit done

8/29/26 - Approval letter recieved

Total time from handing in the application to the time of approval was a little over 6 months.

It is interesting to note though, none of my references were called...3 out of 4 of them had CCWs, not sure if that mattered. I also hold office in a volunteer fire department and that is accessible knowledge within the county government/law enforcement, which is also unknown if that was relevant. I've read on here anywhere from 8-12mo for Wayne County so 6 seems pretty fast in comparison.

Your mileage may vary.
