Non-Resident Concealed Carry Permits: Arizona doesn't distinguish between resident and non-resident for permits, so the process is the same for everyone. It should be noted that there is no requirement for out-of-state applicants to obtain training in the state of Arizona or apply in person.
Applicants must not be under indictment for, or convicted of, any felony in any jurisdiction, mentally ill or adjudicated mentally incompetent. An Arizona-issued CCW permit, with certain exceptions for the armed forces, is valid for five years and may be renewed every five years.
Our Team is available 7 days a week to assist you. The Arizona Concealed Carry Of Weapons Certification Course is available ONLINE 24/7, so you can take the course on YOUR schedule, at YOUR pace, and in the privacy and safety of your home or office.
Applications are typically processed and permits issued/mailed within fourteen days of receipt. However, it can take up to 60 business days to complete all of the required qualification checks. I completed the DPS armed security guard training course. May I use that to satisfy the 8-hour CCW training requirement?
Since Arizona has permitless carry, any person who is at least 18 years old who can legally possess a firearm may open carry, and any person at least 21 years old may concealed carry a firearm without a permit. Arizona will honor concealed carry permits from all other states' and political subdivisions.
How long does it take for an application to process? The average wait time is 75 days. If you have not received your permit after 75 days, please email the Concealed Weapons Permit Unit.
