How do I get a concealed weapon permit?
Individuals must obtain a concealed weapon permit application at the Suffolk Police Headquarters, Suffolk Circuit Court Clerk's Office or online at the Virginia State Police website. Applicants are required to attend a recognized gun safety class and present the certificate of completion and the application to the Central Records Unit.

Applicants with prior military experience are not required to take the gun safety class if they have a certified copy of their DD Form 214. Upon receipt of the required documentation, the Central Records Unit will fingerprint the applicant at no charge and forward the fingerprint card to the Suffolk Circuit Court. Visit the Virginia State Police website.
