Gwinnett Probate Court offering fingerprinting for weapons-carry license applicants

Gwinnett County Probate Court is now offering fingerprinting for weapons-carry license applicants Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center. Previously, applicants had to visit another office in a different building to be fingerprinted.

Because the weapons-carry license application is a three-step process, applications must be received each day no later than 4 p.m. The fee for first-time applicants is $72.50; there is no additional cost for fingerprinting. The fee for renewal applicants is $30; renewal applicants are not required to get fingerprinted. Probate Court accepts cash, personal check, money order, and credit card (separate fee for credit card transactions apply).
