Somebody mind giving me the straight poop on how to go about doing this? Many thanks in advance Go to the courthouse in the county of which you are a resident When you arrive, ask them to direct you to the probate court When you arrive at the probate court, they usually have the form in a stack with a sign identifying it as such. If there is no sign, ask the attendant for the "Georgia Weapons Carry License" form. Complete the form, pay whatever fees they require (bring cash). Wait. Certain counties (Gwinnett and Hall are where I have experience) require you to go elsewhere to complete the fingerprinting portion and there is usually a separate fee at that office. Bring $100 in cash to cover the various fees and you'll be okay. |

For while Cobb county was requiring you to bring a self stamped envelop Not sure of that is still the case We still had to do that (provide SASE), but the stamp was not cancelled so I was able to use the stamp again. :) Here are their requirements from the Cobb Co website: Applicants must bring the following items to the Probate Court: altCurrent identification with current Cobb County address; (P.O. boxes are not accepted); altThe fee to apply is $79.25 (cash/credit/debit/money order) for the license, fingerprinting, criminal background check, and mental health records check; altPlease note, there will be a $2.50 service fee assessed to any credit/debit card transaction. This service fee goes directly to LexisNexis VitalChek Network, Inc.; Probate Court’s payment processing vendor. altYou must provide the court with a self-addressed stamped envelope when applying for the license if you wish to have the license mailed to you; and altIf you are not a U.S. citizen, you must show proof of your lawful presence in the U.S. and proof of residency in the state of Georgia for 90 days. Federal laws require that immigrants and non-immigrants reside continuously in their current status in the state for 90 days. The 90 days is determined by the date of entry on the ICE background check. |

Maybe its just Gwinnexico then. Kinda makes sense. They let me go through the process, but I had to bring them my bc or pp before they would mail it. My wife had the same experience. |

It may depend on which GA DL you have. When I renewed mine last month I had to have proof of name and address. Now I have that fancy star in the upper corner. |

If they're being "different", is what they're doing OK per GA state law? |

| I was born in GA and did not take my birth certificate when I went to apply for my Georgia Weapons Carry License (how about we start calling it by the correct name?) in Gwinnett. The lady said that she thought it was stupid, but she was not allowed to accept the new Drives License with the star as proof of citizenship. But, for $1.00 she could pull up my birth certificate and print it off right then and there. Sold. |
