How to Register a Gun

Florida residents who have recently purchased a firearm may wonder whether they have to register their gun with the state. Florida does not compel citizens to register their firearms with the state, and it is prohibited for any local authority to do so. There are minimum requirements to possess a firearm within the state of Florida. However, if you want to carry a concealed handgun, certain measures must be taken to receive a permit.

How to Obtain a Concealed Carry Permit

Before you decide to apply for a “Concealed Weapon or Firearm License”, it is important that you make sure that you are legally qualified (review Florida Statute – § 790.06). Once you have clarified that you are eligible to receive a license, you must fulfill the following  prerequisites:

(The application process is managed online, so be prepared to upload the requested documentation using a computer or mobile device.)

  • 2 photos of the individual applying (they must be taken within 30 days of the application and meet passport standards).
  • Validation that the applicant has completed a gun course approved by the state, showing that the applicant can handle a firearm properly (a certificate endorsed by an authorized firearms instructor will suffice).
  • Visit a local law enforcement agency for a fingerprint scan (inquire with the agency about how to receive an electronic copy that can be uploaded to your application).
  • A form of payment that can be charged electronically (credit/debit card or electronic check).
  • Once you have acquired all the above documentation, you can complete the Online Concealed Weapon or Firearm License Application.

If you do not want to apply online, you have the option of visiting a service location nearest you or mailing the aforementioned documents to:

Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services
Division of Licensing
P.O. Box 6687
Tallahassee, FL 32314-6687

The state has up to 90 days to accept or deny your application (you will typically be notified within 50-55 days).
