What the statute says
Section 790.06 of the Florida Statutes authorizes the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services to issue licenses to carry concealed weapons or concealed firearms. The license must bear a color photograph and is valid throughout the state for 7 years after the date of issuance. The application is filed with the Department or an approved tax collector, with a nonrefundable license fee of up to $55 if the applicant has not previously been issued a statewide license, or up to $45 for renewal of a statewide license. The cost of processing fingerprints is borne by the applicant, with an exception for certain law enforcement and correctional officers. The sheriff's office must provide fingerprinting if the applicant asks and may charge up to $5 for it.
Late renewal and duplicates
- A licensee who fails to file a renewal application on or before the expiration date must renew by paying a late fee of $15.
- A license cannot be renewed 180 days or more after it expires; it is then permanently expired.
- If a license is lost or destroyed it is automatically invalid, and the licensee may obtain a duplicate for $15 with a notarized statement to the Department.
Worked example
A renewal with sheriff fingerprints filed on time: up to $45 for the license plus up to $5 for fingerprints = $50. If a private vendor charges $12 for fingerprints instead, the ceiling is $45 + $12 = $57. A new license with sheriff fingerprints is up to $55 + $5 = $60.
