How Do I?

Request a Concealed Pistol License

 

General Information:

Concealed Pistol License (CPL) applications must be completed in person.  The application process may take up to 45 minutes.

 

What Should I Bring?

You will need to show proof of identification. Accepted photo identification is:

1.    A current Washington State driver’s license

2.    A current Washington State identification card

3.    Military identification card

4.    Law enforcement identification

5.    A current passport

6.    Equivalent out of state identification

 

Where to Apply

City residents may apply to the local law enforcement agency (police department) in jurisdiction where they reside.

 

County residents (unincorporated) may apply at the Sheriff’s Office Records Unit (4th Fl, Courthouse, Everett.)

Sultan or east county unincorporated residents may apply at East Precinct (515 Main St, Sultan.)

 

Who May Obtain A Concealed Pistol License?

Conditions that may prevent the ability to obtain a CPL are listed in RCW 9.41.070.

 

When Will My Permit Be Issued?

It takes approximately 30 days to process an application.  Issued permits can be picked up or mailed to you.  

 

Out-of-State Residents  

Washington has reciprocity for concealed pistol licenses issued by certain other states, so long as the handgun is carried in accordance with Washington law. The Washington State Attorney General's web site provides a list of those states that have reciprocity with Washington for concealed pistol licenses.

The Sheriff’s Office will issue concealed pistol licenses to out-of-state residents. The waiting period may take up to 60 days for non-residents.
