I have heard the term reciprocity and recognize in regards to other states, what is the difference?
Reciprocity means the states have a written agreement between the two, recognize means they honor the permit but there is not a specific written agreement between the two states.

Besides this class and the state fees, are there any other costs involved?
There are three costs to consider above and beyond our class and the state fees:
- You are responsible for postage of your application to each state.
- Florida requires your fingerprints be taken by a law enforcement agency, each agency charges their own rate. We have seen it between $0 and $20.
