Preface:
This might be helpful to anyone who has questions about firearms in Indiana, certainly it doesn't cover everything, but does have quite a bit of information.
Also, don't flame me for this being long, it took quite a bit of time to get it formated so it would be easy enough to read.
Note: Indiana Statutes can be looked up online at www.in.gov/legislative/.
How do I apply for a handgun license?
The relevant statute is IC 35-47-2-3.
The application is really a two part process beginning with a recommendation from your local law enforcement agency and then the application is sent to the Indiana State Police. The Indiana State Police Superintendent is charged with the responsibility of actually issuing the license and administering the licensing program.
If you live in a city or town, then you must begin the application process with the police department in that city or town. If you do not live in a city or town, then you must begin the process with the sheriff of the county in which you reside. The local department will charge a fee at that time; however, another fee will have to be provided to the state when it is forwarded to the State Police. Please see the fee schedule at the bottom of the FAQ page. Please understand that if someone else types your application for you, you are responsible for reviewing and verifying that the information on the application is correct before you sign the application.
Some local departments will mail the application to the Indiana State Police for you and others will have you mail it.
An application is currently composed of three separate documents: 1) the original application, 2) the supplemental application, and 3) a blue FBI applicant fingerprint card.
The first is the application itself, which is composed of three carbonless sheets. The white copy is sent to the state after being completed and signed by the chief of police, town marshal, or sheriff over the jurisdiction in which you reside. The yellow copy is retained by the local agency and the pink copy is your receipt. The class of license you are applying for will actually be selected on the supplemental application.
The supplemental form is one sheet and contains the lifetime handgun license selections and the fee schedule that began July 1, 2006.
Finally a fingerprint card must be completed. Please make sure that all identifiers on the fingerprint card are competed or the application packet will be returned to you.
A money order or certified check made payable to the state of Indiana for the proper amount must be included.
How do I get a duplicate handgun license?
Complete the “Duplicate Handgun License Request and Notification of Name or Address Change Form” and mail it to the firearms section with a money order for $20. If it is hand written, please make sure that it is printed and legible.
My name or address has changed. Do I have to pay for a duplicate license?
No. Complete the “Duplicate Handgun License Request and Notification of Name or Address Change Form” and mail or fax the form to the firearms section. Check that you are notifying the section of your information change only. The change will be made in the firearms database and there is no fee for this service. If you want a license issued with the changes on it, then yes, the $20 fee for the duplicate license does apply.
Does the State Police set the fees for handgun licenses?
No. The fees for handgun licenses are established in state statute. Laws in the state are passed by the legislature (Fees: IC 35-47-2-3 & 4).
How long does it normally take to receive a handgun license?
If the form is completed properly and the applicant has no background problems, the license is routinely issued in 4 to 8 weeks; however, do to the response for the new lifetime license, the backlog for issuing licenses is approximately 12-14 weeks. The section apologizes and is taking steps to improve the backlog. Please be aware that improperly completed applications and those with background problems may take longer.
I currently have a handgun license and I want a lifetime license. When can I apply for my lifetime license?
According to IC 35-47-2-6, the period during which an application for the renewal of an existing license may be filed begins one hundred eighty (180) days before the expiration of the existing license.
