Firearm Registration Forms

It is not necessary to get hold of a permit to buy a gun, and the state does not require background checks for firearms purchased used from a private seller. If a resident would like to apply for a concealed carry permit, the following must be submitted for consideration:
- A finalized Virginia Application for Concealed Handgun Permit (Form SP-248)
- Certification of completion of an acceptable firearm or hunter safety course.
- Federally-issued or state-issued photo identification.
- A form of payment to cover all necessary fees.
