Concealed Handgun Permit

In order to acquire a concealed handgun permit, an individual must apply to the Sheriff’s Office in the county in which they reside. Please read and become familiar with the Concealed Handgun Permit Info before submitting an online application. For renewal applications, you will be required to drop off your paperwork at our office in order for it to be processed properly after you apply for it online. You will be asked to select an appointment for your renewal, and you can select any time. However, you can drop your application packet off at any, 24 hours/7 days a week at our office. All fees are non-refundable. 

If you are discharged or retired military, you will need to bring your DD214 (with character of service) or the Honorable Discharge certificate to your in-person appointment. We cannot accept your paperwork unless you have the DD214 or Honorable Discharge certificate and will be asked to reschedule. 

The concealed weapon fingerprints are ONLY conducted at the main Union County Sheriff's Office at 3370 Presson Rd.
