I'd like to apply for a CHP in Lynchburg and am a little unsure of the process. Here's what I've done so far:
1. Taken an NRA safety course, so I have the certificate needed
2. Filled out SP-248 (the form on the state police website)
However, there are a few things I'm confused on.
1. At the bottom of Form SP-248 there is a place for a "notary public" to sign. Do I have to take my application to a notary public and get their signature on my application before submitting it?
2. The state police website says to mail the application to the circuit court clerk, but it doesn't say whether or not to include payment. Furthermore, I can't seem to find out what the filing fee is in Lynchburg. Should I include payment with my application? If so, how much should I write the check for?
3. The SSN field on the application says "optional." Should I include it?
This is my first time applying for a CHP, so I really appreciate your advice!
