Boat (Vessel) Registration Forms

Firearm Registration Forms
Mississippi does not compel residents to effectively register a firearm with the state or to obtain a permit before purchase. A standard NICS background check is only required for sales associated with a licensed dealer, and will not be necessary for private sales. Open carry is allowed in approved areas, and permitless carry is acceptable as long as the weapon is obscured within a purse or bag. There are exceptions to this rule, so make sure to check with your county sheriff to inquire about the specifics. To apply for a Concealed Carry Firearm Permit, submit the following at your closest Mississippi Firearm Permit facility:
- A notarized Mississippi Application for a Concealed Carry Firearm Permit (Form Rev 4-17)
- An original fingerprint identification card for the applicant
- An official passport-style color photos
- Two forms of valid identification including one from each of the following categories:
- An active Mississippi driver’s ID card or driver’s license
- A current passport, original social security card, or original birth certificate
- Payment for all necessary permit fees
