Firearms Licensing

The Massachusetts Firearm Records Bureau licensing portal can be used for new applicants as well as renewals; however, additional documents including a color copy of a Massachusetts ID, residency proof, safety certificates, as well as payment must be submitted to the firearms division for process. For renewals only, page 4 is a must and shall be signed prior to dropping off. These documents can now be uploaded to your online application. You may also use the portal to provide change of address, name changes, and pin verification which can be a useful tool. Please understand that if you choose to apply or re-apply for an LTC online at Mass.gov, the department will not be notified automatically. It is your responsibility to provide any additional documents, as well as 2 self-addressed (business–size) stamped envelopes, and a check or money order made payable to The Town of Dartmouth in the amount of $100. Whether online or paper, trip to the station will be necessary.

Keep in mind, paper applications are still welcomed.
