Ohio Concealed Carry Application
 
To be completed when applying for the license.

Ohio Concealed Carry Law Manual 
This is a summary of Ohio's law and a required read for applying for the license.

Steps to obtain an Ohio Concealed Handgun License:

1. Verify that you are eligible to apply for the license.
See "Who can apply for a license?" by clicking HERE.

2. 
Register and attend our concealed carry  class. This will get you a Certificate of Competency, a copy of the Ohioattorney general's CCW law pamphlet, and the application. 

3. Review the Ohio 
Attorney General's pamphlet on Ohio Concealed Carry Laws. 

4. Call the 
sheriff's office in your county or an adjoining county to schedule a concealed carry license appointment. 

5. Bring your filled out 
application, course completion certificate, a passport sized photo, a photo ID, and the license fee to your appointment. They will take a new picture for your concealed handgun license and you will be fingerprinted at the appointment. 

It typically takes a few days to a few weeks after your appointment for the sheriff to process your paperwork and to print your concealed handgun license. 

Do not bring a firearm when applying for or picking up your concealed handgun license. You don't have a CHL to conceal carry until after you physically have the license in your hand.
The license is designed similar to a driver's license.
