HOW DO I GET MY CONCEALED CARRY WEAPON PERMIT?
Mandatory: You must show proof that you have taken firearms training. You can take the training during the waiting period after you have been fingerprinted if necessary.
Fill out application.
Bring in the application with cash or check for $56.10 made payable to the Cassia County Sheriff’s Office. If this is an initial application, you need to bring in your proof of training. Go to the front window in the Sheriff’s Office and turn the application in, give them the cash or check and they will take your fingerprints.
Fingerprints will be sent to Criminal Bureau of Investigations for a records check. We will call you when the records check comes back. This will take approximately 90 days.
After you receive the phone call, go to the Driver’s License Office to get your picture taken.
The permit is good for five years and may be renewed up to ninety days before expiration without penalty. Renewal is accomplished by filling out a new application and paying $37.80 to the records department. A records check will be performed and we will call you in approximately 30 days to let you know we are ready to issue the renewal. After you have received a phone call, go to the DRIVER’S LICENSE OFFICE to get your picture taken.
A late fee for applying for a renewal after expiration and within 90 days is an additional $10.00.
Renewal after the 1 year expiration requires that the applicant start the procedure again. Fingerprints are required and the fee is $56.10 in cash, check, or credit card, at the time the prints are taken. You will be notified within 90 days to come to the Driver’s License Office.
Applications for Concealed Carry Weapons Permits can be picked up at the Sheriff's Office Monday through Friday, business hours, excluding holidays.
