First time and renewal concealed weapon permit applications are processed by Department of Public Safety Criminal Records Specialists. The application data is entered into our CCW database. Background criminal history checks are performed utilizing several systems:
- Arizona Criminal Justice Information System (ACJIS)
- National Crime Information Center (NCIC)
- Arizona Crime information Center (ACIC)
- National Instant Background Check System (NICS)
- Interstate Identification Index (III)
- Automatic Fingerprint Information System (AFIS)
- Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI)
DPS policy is to deny a concealed weapons permit to an applicant due to any disqualifiers in accordance to U.S. Federal (18 U.S.C. § 922) and Arizona State (ARS §13-3112). If no disqualifying criminal history record is found, the concealed weapons permit is issued contingent on the FBI background check based on the submitted fingerprints.
Applicants must satisfactorily complete a DPS approved CCW Training Program (8 hours). Permit training must take place within Arizona. Applicants trained outside of Arizona are subject to suspension or revocation, as well as the instructor and organization. Certain law enforcement officers and county detention officers are exempt from the initial training.
Concealed weapons permits may be renewed every four or five years (permits issued after August 11, 2005 are valid for five years). See renewal procedure.
