How do I obtain or renew my Concealed Weapons Permit?
Answer:
APPLICATION: Permanent residents of Northumberland County who are over the age of 21 may apply for a concealed handgun permit by completing an application obtained from the Northumberland County Circuit Court Clerk's Office. The completed application must be signed under oath in the presence of a notary public, or the clerk or deputy clerk of the Circuit Court. Non-resident concealed handgun permit applications are filed with the Virginia State Police.
FEE (Non-refundable): Application for new permit $50.00; Application to renew existing permit $50.00. Checks payable to the Northumberland Circuit Court are accepted.
PROOF OF COMPETENCY: Proof of competency to carry a handgun is required.
FINGERPRINTS AND CRIMINAL HISTORY: Northumberland County requires fingerprinting of applicants for new permits and a criminal record search by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. After the application has been reviewed by the Circuit Court Clerk, fingerprints of applicants are made at the Northumberland County Sheriff's Office, Monday through Friday.
ISSUANCE: The concealed handgun permit is issued within 45 days of the date the complete application is submitted to the Clerk for processing. If after the permit is issued, the criminal record search reveals that the applicant is disqualified, the permit is subject to revocation.
LOST PERMITS: There is a $10.00 fee to replace a lost or worn permit.
RENEWAL: Applications for permit renewal should be submitted at least 45 days prior to expiration of the current permit.
