Thanks for the info.

Funny thing today I was signing all these papers after getting them signed by the lady at the ambulance company. I'm going down there on Tuesday. I can already see the traffic... :angry:

DOT permit

I called the DOT office this morning and they told me $182 for a new permit. My question is if I already have my livescan fingerprints do they subtract $76 from that $182?

No. Unfortunately companies/entities cannot share the information from live scn. You need a seperate livescan for each place. (Dmv, state/county card, ladot) absolutely stupid if you ask me.

renewal?

If I am renewing it do I have to bring another application from the company I work for with a authorized signature and do I have to bring another H-6 again?

You need to bring another application signed by your company. I would also bring all your certs and H6 as well. Renewal is the same as a new application, except there is no live scan.

New applicant for DOT permit here. Can someone confirm that I'll get a temporary permit (that's like good for 15 days) on the day itself when I apply for it?

Or else, how long does it take? Thank you.

They make your permanent permit right there when you come in with your application.

It says for the renewal you need original documents of everything. When I first got my LADOT permit, I gave them the original copy of my DL-51 Medical Examiner’s certificate so I only have a copy of it right now. I need to renew mine so will they still accept the copy of the DL51 since they already have my original?
