Concealed Weapons Permits

Florida concealed weapon licenses are processed by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Due to rising demand, tax collector offices have been given authority to take applications, fingerprint the applicants and send the information securely to the department for final determination. There are currently more than 1.3 million concealed weapon permits in Florida, and the department processed more than 177,000 new licenses last fiscal year.

Applications for the statewide concealed weapon license can be completed by appointment only. This includes the complete process of fingerprinting and submitting application. We are unable to complete fingerprints for online applications.

To schedule your appointment, please visit our online appointments page.

For more information please visit the FL Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services' website.

Please note that applications processed in our office will incur an additional fee.
