Learning the laws regulating the use of firearms is a must for responsible ownership. Local regulations differ and laws vary from state to state. Citizens must check with the jurisdiction where the firearm is to be used.
In Arizona, the Department of Public Safety is required to follow strict state guidelines when performing the necessary background checks for issuing Concealed Weapon Permits. Due to the detailed nature involved with conducting these background checks, processing time can take up to 15 days.
Please read the requirements section below to make sure you have all the information required for applying for a Concealed Weapon Permit.

Before completing the application, review and become knowledgeable of Arizona Revised Statutes Title 13, Chapters 4 and 31 (https://www.azleg.gov/arstitle/). You are required to attest you have done so on the application.
Gaining competency with firearms is like learning to drive a car or fly an airplane. You need expert instruction and practice. There is no shortcut. If you are not willing to invest the time and effort to become competent, then having a firearm and trying to use it can, in many instances, be more hazardous than any impending threat.
New CCW Applicants:
All new CCW applicants must be fingerprinted as part of the application process.
You have two options for fingerprinting:
Option 1 - Electronic Fingerprints via FieldPrint:
Once your fingerprints have been taken, the Department of Public Safety will then process your CCW application.
Option 2 - Physical Fingerprint Cards:
IF YOU ARE PROVIDING HARD CARD FINGERPRINTS, YOU MUST INCLUDE A COVERSHEET THAT INCLUDES THE ORDER NUMBER OF YOUR APPLICATION. YOU CAN PRINT THIS FORM ONCE YOU HAVE SUBMITTED THE CCW APPLICATION.
