In addition to the $50 for the course, the State of Utah also charges $53.25 for residents and $63.25 for non-residents to process your application and perform your background check. This is the total out of pocket cost. The payment to the state of Utah via credit/debit card, check, money order, or cashiers check is submitted with your application and is processed separately from the fee for this course. It may take weeks for BCI to process this payment.

Is there any way that I can check to see if my criminal history will prevent me from obtaining a concealed firearm permit BEFORE I go through the whole process of applying?

• Yes. You can go into the BCI office or call by phone and ask to speak with one of the investigators prior to the application process.

Is the provisional course for 18-20 yr olds the same as the regular course?​

• Yes, the course requirements are exactly the same but they still cannot purchase firearms or conceal carry into primary and secondary schools (UCA 53-5-710(2).​​

For any other inquires please feel free to email with questions thank you!​​
