*** IMPORTANT CHANGE***
Due to the increased number of applicants not appearing for their appointments, we must implement a pre-pay system for licensing fees.
Beginning 05/20/2024, you must pay for your appointment using the booking website (preferred) or you may drop off a personal check in the amount of $100.
To utilize online booking, you will be charged the $100 State licensing fee, along with a $4.00 booking fee payable with a credit card.
If you choose to drop off a personal check, please make sure it lists your phone number. When the check clears, our booking clerk will phone you with an appointment date and time.
All fees are non-refundable and forfeited in the case of a "no-show". Rescheduling is allowed within 24 hours. These changes were necessary to reduce wasted appointment times and better serve those who are waiting for appointments.
If you are 70-years-old or older, your fees are waived for renewals only. In this case, please phone the police department and ask to be connected to the Records Department.
Instructions:
- Download the LTC/FID application/renewal form from the links below. Fill out your application completely, and truthfully.
- Complete your application clearly and neatly, and provide your current telephone number.
- When selecting a license type, only select one type.
- Provide two references as requested.

- If you are not a US citizen, a copy of your proof of citizenship or Certificate of Naturalization.
