Firearm Registration Forms
Michigan does not mandate registration for firearms at the state level, although the purchase of a handgun will require either the passing of a background check through a licensed dealer, a Purchase Permit, or a Concealed Pistol License. Although a record of sale is maintained upon purchase of a handgun, there are also some municipalities that obligate residents to register with the local authorities. In order to carry a gun openly on one’s own property or in areas allowed for hunting or target shooting is permitted without licensure. To lawfully carry a concealed weapon you can apply at the county clerk’s office with the following:
- A filed Michigan Concealed Pistol License Application (Form R1-012), notarization to be carried out upon submission.
- Proof of completion of an accepted firearm safety class
- An active Michigan ID card or driver’s license with a current address
- An original fingerprint identification card for the applicant
- One passport-style color photograph
- Sufficient compensation to pay the licensing fee
