One of our students completed a LASD firearm modification qualification with us at Burro Canyon on Sunday, May 3.

He submitted his modification paperwork and training certificate the same day.

Timeline:

• May 3: Qualification completed and documents submitted
• May 11: Approved for pickup
• May 15: Pickup appointment completed

Student said the pickup process at LASD was extremely smooth. They used the existing CCW photo, printed the updated permit ahead of time, and the entire visit took about 5 minutes.

This is another indication LASD modifications are moving much faster than many people expect.

Reminder:

• LASD requires qualification/training documentation within 30 days
• You must list all firearms currently on the permit plus the new firearm being added
• Bring matching firearm information exactly as registered/DROS’d

For those asking, LASD modifications are definitely active right now.

Now that LASD has finally rolled out the modify option, starting to see some real timelines come through.

Recent example:

• Qualification: April 18

• Submitted via Permitium same day

• Email to schedule pickup: April 24

~6 day turnaround

A few things that seem pretty clear so far:

• LASD is expecting a current qualification (they’re not playing around with older certs)

• Process order matters: qualify first, then submit

• You need to list all firearms you want on your permit, not just the new/additional one

• Most delays I’ve heard about are from incomplete or outdated paperwork

Honestly faster than expected, but this is still early. Wouldn’t be surprised if timelines change once volume picks up.

Curious what others are seeing so far. Anyone else submit a modify request yet? What was your turnaround?
