My Weapons Carry License was sent to the wrong address, AND when I opened the envelope it was someone else's WCL. Then I have to go to the Probate Court to return it and wait for mine to be return so I can go back to the Probate Court to pick it up. Just because there was no "Attention To Details" the first time for something so important.

just turned 21 I had to make an appointment in August to get my carry permit. actually applied beginning of November. didn't receive it until first week of February. when I finally got it my name was misspelled and my birthdate was wrong. This license is so bad that bass pro shops wouldn't take it . To make matters worse I HAVE TO PAY to get it fixed.

We have a wonderful experience from the convenient parking to going through the Security check with Officers (who were very accommodating with stringent security rules) to the social distancing clearly marked to the customer service representative in the County Clerk's office. Kudos to Ms. Katie Crider, Clerk Probate Clerk! She fully explained the process and was very helpful in getting our Marriage License. Thank you again.
