GET YOUR ARIZONA CCW PERMIT

The CCW class is $60 per person. You will receive a Certificate of Completion. You will be fully qualified and prepared to apply online for the AZ DPS Concealed Weapons Permit. The course fee does not include the AZ DPS processing fee ($67.45).

You can do the online course immediately. If you want an in-person course, please understand that all of my courses are private courses. I teach them at your home or office location for your convenience (or at a public location like Starbucks, Denny's, IHOP, etc.) I work with your schedule and can do the course mornings, afternoons, or evenings.

Arizona CCW Laws regarding the eligibility requirements for issuance of the AZ CCW Permit changed July 29, 2010. Our organization is now following one of the new eligibility requirements as referenced in ARS § 13-3112(E)(6)(b) and ARS § 13-3112(N)(1) by providing a concealed carry course taught by a Certified Instructor of the National Rifle Association. I also provide students taking this course with exactly the same information and material concerning Arizona firearm law that was previously found in the DPS 8 hour course.

Permit application process, fingerprinting on site, benefits of concealed weapons permit, safe handling of firearms, traveling with firearms, interaction with law enforcement officers, restricted/prohibited carry locations, legal issues relating to the use of deadly force, justified use of deadly force, castle doctrine and home defense, and much more!

No. I can do ink fingerprinting, but I do not recommend it. The best option is to do digital fingerprints. If you apply online through AZ DPS, you can schedule digital fingerprints at a FieldPrint location close to you. Digital fingerprinting through FieldPrint for the CWP is about $10.25.

You still need to be fingerprinted. The fingerprint clearance card is used for occupational and employment purposes.

An application fee of $67.45 (includes credit processing and service fee) to the Arizona Department of Public Safety. This payment is submitted with your CCW Permit Application through DPS online portal.

Five (5) Years. There is a 60 day grace period beyond your expiration date. All applicants must complete a DPS renewal forms and submit forms to AZ DPS along with permit renewal fee before the expiration date listed on their permit. If you fail to renew by the end of the 60 day grace period, then you must re-apply for your permit and possibly have to re-take the CCW Course again.

No. There is no provision in the law for transferring concealed weapon permits.

No. You do not have to be a resident of Arizona as long as you are a US Citizen. If you are a Non US Citizen but a legal resident Alien (green card), you can still obtain an AZ CCW permit, but you must be a resident of AZ for more than 90 days.

Please consult the AZ DPS website on Arizona Reciprocal and Recognition Agreements. It is extremely important that all Arizona Permit holders be aware of the CCW requirements and laws of all reciprocating/recognizing states. An Arizona CCW permit does not supersede any other state's law or CCW requirements. Persons carrying an Arizona permit are subject to the laws of the state they are visiting. If you are an Arizona permit holder traveling to another state and wish to carry a concealed weapon using your Arizona permit, contact that state directly to confirm their recognition status before carrying concealed weapons there. Some states only recognize permits from persons who are a resident of the issuing state.

Yes, unless the establishment has posted sign (immediately adjacent to their liquor license) prohibiting weapons. However, you may not consume alcohol while in possession of your firearm.

Once you have completed the course, you will receive a affidavit of course completion from the instructor, who is certified through the National Rifle Association. This document will be uploaded when you submit your online application through AZ DPS Concealed Weapons Permit portal.

It can take up to 75 days to complete all of the required qualification checks and FBI background check.
