  • A Tennessee Boat Registration Application form (available when applying at the local Clerk’s office)
  • Evidence of paid tax on the vessel

Firearm Registration Forms

Tennessee does not necessitate one to register an obtained weapon, or furnish a permit to purchase a gun. Background checks are necessary when purchasing from a federally licensed firearms dealer but not required for private sales. Acquiring a handgun will demand that a resident be at least 21 years of age unless the individual can supply proof of active military service. Handgun Carry Permits are made available to residents that can pass a federal background check and provide the following:

  • A Tennessee Application for Handgun Carry Permit receipt number (available to fill out online via the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security website).
  • Certification of completion of coursework at a state-accepted Handgun Safety School.
  • A fingerprint identification card for the applicant
  • An active Tennessee driver’s license or identification card
  • Evidence of US citizenship
  • Proof of residency in the state of Tennessee.
  • Consideration for all fees
