You may pick up your concealed pistol license application kit up at the County Clerk’s Offices in Mason or Lansing. There is no charge for the kit.  You must bring a valid ID.  If you are applying for a new CPL you must bring the original certificate you received from the Pistol Safety Training Course.  The clerk's office accepts cash, cashier check, check, visa and mastercard.  Once you have applied at the Ingham County Clerk's Office and have been fingerprinted, your CPL application will be reviewed by the gun board.  Please allow up to 10 weeks for this process. After the Board has reviewed your application and performed a background check, you will receive notification in the mail advising you to either appear in front of the gun board, or to pick up your CPL from the County Clerk's Office.

You will  need to take your copy of the processed application from the Clerk's Office and your Michigan driver's license with you for fingerprinting.  Fingerprints are taken at the Ingham County Sheriff's Office located at 630 S. Cedar Street, Mason, MI.

Please be aware of when you renew your CPL.  It is valid for no more than 5 years and no less than 4 from your date of birth.
