What is the processing time for a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit application after it has been submitted?

  1. Within 15 days

  2. Within 30 days

  3. Within 45 days

  4. Within 90 days

The correct answer is: Within 45 days

Once a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit application has been submitted, the processing time is typically within 45 days. This timeframe is mandated by Virginia law and outlines the maximum period within which the issuing authority must either issue the permit or provide written notice of denial. It is important for applicants to be aware of this timeline and to plan accordingly when applying for their permit. While other options may seem plausible, it is crucial to remember the specific processing timeframe required by law to ensure compliance and proper expectations.
