The Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) processes the applications and issues concealed weapon licenses. Find out if you are eligible and how to apply for, or renew a ND concealed weapon license and which states have reciprocity.
Application Status Inquiries
The BCI is prohibited by law from providing information about the status of a concealed weapon license application to anyone, even the applicant. Instead, follow the instructions for making a written status inquiry.
Expired License
An expired license is invalid and cannot be renewed. You will need to apply as a new applicant and complete all required testing. You cannot carry concealed with an expired license.
