The correct answer is: 45 days

During this time, the Virginia State Police conducts a background check and reviews your application to determine eligibility for the permit. It is important to be aware of this waiting period when applying for a CHP in Virginia. Option A is incorrect because there is a waiting period. Option B is incorrect because the waiting period is longer than 15 days. Option D is incorrect because the waiting period is not 90 days.
