I am traveling to PA from CT on the first week of August.  I would like to stop and apply for my Non-resident Permit.  I will be in Langhorne PA bringing my son to Sesame Place.  Can someone point me to the closest location to apply?

I can't help with a specific location for that area but you'll need the county sheriff's office which is most likely at the county courthouse.

ETA Actually I can help, it was easy.

Awesome.  Thanks.  Looks like the Levittown Center Building is close by.

The Levittown Center is very close. 5 miles or less. Really just one congested road and make a left. They can process the permit but call ahead since I do not believe they do permits every day of the week. That's what I recall. Also print the application out online and complete, less the signatures. Save some time.

The Sheriff is in Doylestown. You might be able to stop there on your way in or on the way home. It's north of Sesame Place by about 10-15 miles and in a more rural area. Again check the hours but they do them every day and are very fast, efficient and polite. Residents get our permits why we wait. Not sure if they do that for non residents.

Bucks is my county. Enjoy the trip.

Not sure if Bucks County will issue on site. Erie County wants non-residents to bring a self addressed envelope and they will mail you the permit, which normally only takes a matter of days.

Thanks for the great info.  I might call them ahead.  Issuing that day isn't that big of a deal to me but if it only takes a few mins then why not.  Thanks again.

So I show up in Levittown this morning around 10 with all my paperwork squared away.  The sheriff tells me that non-resident permits have to go to Doylestown.  She makes a phone call and confirms thats where I have to go.  Looks like tomorrow I am getting up early to make the drive to come back to Sesame place for the day...

Round 2:  So I was at the hotel on the last day of my vacation and get up early to make the drive to Doylestown. I get there and the Sheriffs office tells me that they no longer issue Permits to Non reciprcating states.  So being from Connecticut, they wouldn't issue me one. However, she then told me that some Counties still do.   I think I was more frustrated at the other sheriffs office for letting me drive all the way up there after they had spoken to them on the phone back in Bucks County.  

I just called Northamptons Sheriffs , and there automated phone line told me that they currently don't issue Non-Resident permits. Oh well.....

I probably would have if I knew at the time.  Everything I had heard prior was that these two would have as well.
