It appears at least one person is reporting receiving their Assault Weapon Certificate approval by email. See this reddit post. They indicate they submitted last September. Edit to add: Supposedly the email the person on reddit received:

| Interesting. I hand delivered some AW apps to Deirdre directly at DESPP. Shes incredibly nice and very helpful. I asked her about timeline for getting these back and she said to check in end of June to see how things were progressing. While i dont agree with any of this, im glad that people are starting to get them back. |

The portal for registration wasnt working right for me, so i emailed her about it, made an appointment and dropped everything off to her - i went through each one with her and then, like you said, the trooper at the front entry put their badge number and time stamp on each one. |

I was also unaware of the “undeclared” magazines and home storage requirements. Wtf is this bullshit? A lot of people I know have prebans and they were unaware that it applied to them. |

Generally, yes you would just wait for the email notification if you filed online, or the mailing with the certificate if you filed by mail. The wait is normal. People waited 2 to 3 months last time around in 2014 before approvals started being received. Then like now, once people start getting approvals they'll be posting to various CT gun centric discussion forums like here, or on the ctguns subreddit. If one is impatient or cannot wait, they can try contacting SLFU, who claims for AW registration questions that email is the best contact method: [email protected], and see if SLFU will provide any sort of a response. |

I am guessing the state is in worse disarray than usual. The state pulled the AW link in the online portal on or right after May 1st when the registration period closed. People who complied and submitted an AW cert application have done their job, all one can do now is wait for SLFU to do theirs. Edit to add: Others have contacted SLFU asking about the removal of the AW icon from the online portal and if they are processing the AW applications.   It is very likely they only have a few people (or maybe just one person knowing this gun hating state) processing the AW cert applications. |

There are 4, and no more than 2 at a time due to staffing issues. |

Originally Posted By JeepinMaxx: That's promising - I think you are the 1st I heard of actually getting back a certificate of possession for this round of registrations There have been one (maybe two) on the CTGuns subreddit who have indicated getting an approved AW cert. One post from 18 days go: https://www.reddit.com/r/CTguns/comments/1dwf20k/aw_cert/ Going to take a while for the 2-4 people supposedly on staff at SLFU, who's job it is to process the AW cert applications. |

Originally Posted By sbhaven: How were you notified? By email or by mail? If by email did they include a copy of the actual certificate with cert number on it? Email with the the entire form with a number on it now and instructions to print it and keep the bottom part with the rest of my paperwork for each firearm. |

I recall seeing a posting on the CT State jobs site recently for a position intended for SPBI that also referenced the potential of being utilized to process SLFU paperwork. |

Got a letter today (US Mail) from the State Police, 9/12/2024 saying they are in receipt of my Assault Weapon Certificate Application Form, DPS-414-C. Second paragraph : "At this time, we are requesting you to provide a Letter of Authenticity from your firearm's manufacturer to verify that your firearm was made before September 13, 1994 and classified as preban." When I get this letter (Letter of Authenticity), I have to mail (US Mail) it to them along with the "Assault Weapon Certificate Application Form, DPS-414-C" and proof of purchase. (copy of DPS-3-C, with a date of sale: 3/2016) which they enclosed with their letter. I contacted COLT for this letter. (E-Mail) I also did a s/n lookup on 3/2016 and it came up Year of Manufacture: 1977 Wondering if this copy I have off Colt's database at 2016, would satisfy the State Police ? Question, has anyone else experienced this ? |

Usually it was providing SLFU a copy, on the firearm manufacturer's company letterhead, of the age of the firearm. Unfortunately some companies would charge a small fee to provide such a firearm serial number search and then send a letter back on company letterhead. In this day and age, not sure how many companies would still do that, provide company letterhead document, rather than just a email. Suppose one could simply provide a copy of the email from the company (showing the firearm company's sender's email address) along with a copy of the serial # info from the company website as proof and see what SLFU does this time around. |

China kept extremely poor to no records. Plus its china and some American asking for this, all ya be getting is hahahahahaha LOL from them. |
