You must be 21 to apply for a Concealed pistol license.
If you are a Washington resident, go to your Chief of Police or Sheriff of the city or county in which you live.
They will give you the Application that you fill out and then (with your payment of $60. 00) they will process the application.
Drivers license or State Issued Photo ID.
Two Fingerprint cards must be filled out and you must be fingerprinted. They may do this where you apply.
Some departments will charge an optional extra fee for laminating your permit. You can pay them to do it, or do it yourself.
If you are not a Washington resident, you can apply at any Police or Sheriffs Office in the State. The application process is fairly straightforward, and can be completed in the office. No documentation other than your ID is required. Permits are generally mailed to non-resident applicants, but the law is silent on this matter, so individual issuing authorities may handle this differently.
Yes, NON Residents must apply in person. Don't bother asking if this has changed. When it changes, I'll update this page. Legally, there's no reason why Washington State can't issue permits via mail. There is apparently an administrative ruling that requires all applicants, resident or non, to apply in person. This may change if the governor does. Prior permits issued by mail are still valid, but renewals may have to be in person. When in doubt, call and ask.
Call ahead; some issuing agencies only accept applications during certain hours or days. Also, some small-town police stations do not do their own fingerprinting.
