Concealed Carry Weapon Endorsement
Applicants are directed by law to come to the Department of Revenue to apply for a license with the Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) endorsement within seven days after receiving their Concealed Carry Certificate of Qualification. (Applicants who receive Concealed Carry Certificates of Qualification prior to July 1, 2004, are not included in the seven-day requirement.)
The Department of Revenue began issuing driver and Nondriver licenses with the CCW endorsement to qualified applicants on July 1, 2004.
Qualified applicants are applicants:
- who are 23 years of age or older;
- who are eligible for a driver or Nondriver license;
- who have a valid Concealed Carry Certificate of Qualification;
- whose Concealed Carry Certificate of Qualification information has been accurately entered into the Missouri Uniform Law Enforcement System (MULES) database.
Applications for a Concealed Carry Certificate of Qualification are available through Missouri sheriffs or sheriff’s designees. Once the sheriff or sheriff’s designee issues the Concealed Carry Certificate of Qualification, the
certificate information will be transmitted electronically to the department through MULES. Applicants for a CCW endorsement whose information has not been accurately entered into MULES will be asked to return to the sheriff or sheriff’s designee that issued the certificate in order to correct the inaccuracies.
The CCW endorsement will show “CCW Until MM-DD-YY” and will be placed on the license in red above the picture. The date will indicate the CCW endorsement expiration date, which is three years from the Concealed Carry Certificate of Qualification issuance date as recorded in MULES.
When you apply for a license with a CCW endorsement, you are charged only the standard fee to produce the driver or Nondriver license. The CCW endorsement does not have an additional cost. The most common driver license type is $20.00. The most common Nondriver license type is $11.00.
Information regarding CCW endorsements is stored on the Missouri Driver License system with restricted access privileges. Specific information is disclosed only to law enforcement and is not printed on driving records.
A CCW endorsement can be suspended or revoked for various offenses. If the CCW endorsement is suspended or revoked, the department must send a notice of the suspension or revocation to the CCW endorsement holder.
