Processing Time & Background Check

The Sheriff’s Office and staff will follow strict state guidelines when performing background checks for the License to Carry permits. Because of the thorough process, it may take multiple weeks to complete the background check and schedule an appointment.


Fees

• New License to Carry Permit $20.00

• Renewal License to Carry Permit $20.00

• Replacement (Lost, Stolen, or Name/Address Change) $5.00 (for Monroe County issued licenses only)


Once you submit your application, you’ll be responsible for all associated fees. If your application is denied by the PA Insta Check system or due to failure to answer questions properly, you’ll receive a refund of $15. Please note, an administrative fee of $5 (as required by state statute) will be retained by the Sheriff’s Office, and any convenience fees will be kept by Permitium.



Know the Laws

Before applying for your License to Carry, it’s critical to understand the laws regulating firearm use. Local and state regulations can differ significantly. You are required to ensure that your firearm use complies with the laws in the jurisdiction where you will carry it.


Competency with Firearms

Owning a firearm requires serious responsibility, much like learning to drive a car or pilot an aircraft. Proper training is necessary for your safety and others. If you’re not willing to invest the time and effort to become proficient, carrying and using a firearm may become a liability rather than a defense.
