Permanents shouldn't require more than 2 weeks notice at the absolute most. Many of them will be a matter of send out the entry form and payment and as soon as it comes back you just notify the organiser by email or phone of the day you wish to ride. That last bit is just for insurance purposes and can be right up until you start the ride with some organisers.
My permanent at the start of Jan was texted in as I was stood in the queue to pay for food that would give me a receipt at the starting control.
The speed of getting your brevet card is usually dependent on whether you use 1st class or 2nd class stamps.
