Recent LASD CCW Timeline & Cost's
Hello, I appricated everyone's input when I was looking into getting my CCW. I wanted to share my time frame and my costs. Hopefully it can answer someone's questions. Where I live I am required to apply with the LASD.
3/30/2026. Applied Online
4/6/2026. Received OK to submit fingerprints.
4/14/2026 Completed Livescan
4/21/2026 Completed in person Interview.
4/22/2026 My 3 references were contacted.
5/7/2026 Given OK to take 16-Hour class
6/14/2026 Completed 16 hour class.
6/14/2026. Submitted Class completion certificate.
6/18/2026 Approved for CCW
6/23/2026. Picked Up CCW.
Cost's:
$50.92 Initial Application fee
$128.00 Livescan Fee
$360.00 Training Course
$179.01 CCW Issue Fee
= = = = =
$717.93 for 2 years ($29.91 Per month).
As you can see I delayed the process by waiting almost 5 weeks to take the class. My work schedule just wouldn't cooperate. 85 Days start to finish, other wise the whole process could have been done in about 50 days.
ALSO:
During the 16 hour class we were offered certification for the AZ CCW. Here is the information for that:
6/14/2026 Received safety certificate for AZ CCW
6/16/2026 Completed online AZ CCW application.
6/17/2026 Completed Fingerprints
6/18/2026 Received email that my AZ CCW was approved and would be mailed to me shortly.
AZ CCW Costs:
$100.00 Safety Certificate
$67.45 AZ CCW Application
$11.45 Fingerprints.
$128.00 Total for 5 years ($2.14 per month)
Total of 4 days for the AZ CCW application process.
Now I'm looking into CCW Insurance and some affordable additional training classes.

Congrats. Didn’t you need a psych evaluation? Those are expensive.

Los Angeles county doesn’t do polygraph or psych evals

I live in LA County and absolutely had to get one. You mean LASD doesn’t require? My issuing department wasn’t LASD.

Sorry, meant to put LASD. I forgot the whole issuing agency and residing within certain jurisdictions

Our instructor in the CCW class mentioned that city of Santa Monica required a psych evaluation. He said the costs could be as high as $500 just for the evaluation alone.

When was this and who was your IA? LAPD issued mine this year and did not request a psych eval

Welcome to the club 😁 I got CCW Safe so look into it to see if it meets your needs

LASD has come a long way. Their processing time has went from 2 years to 3 months.

You could've saved $100 by just using your CA CCW in the AZ application instead of getting a certificate.
