The Utah CCW Permit is available to *most lawful individuals, including residents of the State of California. The Utah CCW Permit is often referred to as the Mutli-State CCW because it allows the holder to carry a concealed firearm in over 30 states, including Nevada, Arizona and Washington. The Utah CCW does not allow the holder to carry a concealed firearm in California. This is the permit to have if you travel outside of California.
The State of Utah does not allow online training to fulfill the training requirements for this permit, so you came to the right place to satisfy the application needs. Our firearms familiarity course is approximately three hours in length and we will guide you through the entire process. Upon your submission and Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification's receipt of the completed application packet, they will process the application payment. Applications are reviewed in the order they are received. Upon completion of the background investigation, if the application meets criteria established by law, the permit is mailed to the applicant. The standard processing time is approximately two months after payment is processed by Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification.
It is the responsibility of all Utah concealed firearm permit holders to be familiar with the current reciprocity agreements that indicate which states they can carry concealed in, and know and understand the applicable firearm laws of the states within which they plan to visit.
