Overview of Concealed Pistol License (CCW)
A Concealed Pistol License Kit (CCW/CPL) can be picked up at the Genesee County Sheriff Department Monday through Friday from 8AM to 4:30PM (810)257-3418. The application kit is free. Once you have completed the application, taken the safety class*, and have a passport quality photo*; you will take your certificate from your class, your photograph, and application to the Genesee County Clerks Office, 900 S. Saginaw Street. (Located in the Genesee County Circuit building on the second floor). The Clerk's office will process your paperwork; you will pay them $105.00 at which time you will be issued a receipt. You will bring the receipt over to our office at the Genesee County Sheriff Department where you will be fingerprinted. Once you have been fingerprinted, the Genesee County Sheriff Department will send your prints to the State/FBI for processing. Once the State/FBI have cleared the prints, the Genesee County Clerk's office will notify you by mail when you are to pick up your CCW card.
In the event 3 months or more have passed and you have not heard from the Genesee County Clerk's Office please contact their office at (810) 257-3228 and they can track your application process.
When renewing your CCW/CPL license, all of the above applies except one area: There is an area on your application which indicates; "I certify that I have completed at least 3 hours of review of the required training and have had at least 1 hour of firing range time in the last 6 months proceeding this application". If you meet this requirement, sign where indicated and a class is not required. However, if you cannot truthfully attest to this statement, you will need to take a refreshers course before applying.
*See the list below for a list of classes. Please note there is more classes available so shop around for the class that best accommodates your needs. Just remember, the state requires that instructors must be certified by the state or a national organization and trained in the use of deadly force.
