LASD says the applicant will receive a time-sensitive message from Permitium with a link for final payment and pickup scheduling.

Do not arrive simply because training or an earlier application stage is complete. Follow the issuance link and appointment instructions.
Review the appointment message
Bring the confirmation and any identification or documents specifically requested in the message.
