The following steps will help guide you through the process of applying for a concealed weapon permit in the state of Virginia.
- You must be 21 years old and pass "The Sirius Group, LLC.," Defensive Handgun Class which is approved by the circuit court of Virginia.
- Contact your local court to obtain a concealed weapon permit application. Submit the completed application, the Sirius Group training certificate*, photo identification such as a driver's license, and a self-addressed stamped envelope. Some jurisdictions (Arlington) require fingerprints for residents.
- In 45 days, you will receive the permit or be denied the permit. If your permit is not processed within 45 days, the court clerk must issue you a temporary permit good for 90 days or until the permanent one is ready.
- Renew your permit every 5 years.
- You are not required to inform a law enforcement officer that you are carrying a concealed weapon.
- Never carry concealed weapons to bars, churches, schools, or any building that has a sign posted banning firearms on the premises.
