CWP New, Renewal, or Replacements Online

Tammy Stephens

The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) implemented a new Concealed Weapon Permit (CWP) system on May 1st, 2018. SLED is in partnership with IdentoGo by IDEMIA, they have developed the SLED EasyPath system. This streamlined system allows SLED to process CWP's as required by statute, while offering applicants a new online renewal process and adding a new online permit replacement feature as well. However, it’s difficult to get a appointment set within the first month of wanting to apply so we here at Motary Notary Fingerprint anymore can help you with fingerprint cards so that you can submit them by mail.


SLED has implemented a online CWP registration and electronic fingerprinting capture system This will allow applicants for a NEW SC CWP to begin the application online and set up an appointment at an available IdentoGo site. At Motary Notary Fingerprinting & More have your fingerprints taken and send to SLED by mail. SLED will continue to process all submitted applications received from appointments made online and any applications made by mail.

A woman is holding a sign that says loan signing agent vs notary
By Tammy Stephens November 28, 2024
Notary publics who also observe document signings are known as loan signing agents. They are more suited to guide you through a loan signing procedure, nevertheless, which entails more than 100 pages of various loan documents, required signatures, initials, and dates. Because this process can be intimidating, loan signing representatives are specially educated to help you understand it and provide guidance. After becoming a public notary, they frequently need to complete extra training and certificates, and each state regulates their status. The loan signing procedure still requires them to perform notary services, so keep that in mind.
