The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office online portal is now available for concealed handgun applications. We apologize for any inconvenience, if any, that was experienced due to system maintenance.
Please visit the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office website at ccsonc.org or https://cumberlandso.permitium.com/ccw/start to complete your concealed handgun application.
***********************************
The North Carolina General Assembly passed a statute that repeals the requirement for permits to purchase handguns, but that law does not affect the requirement for a concealed carry permit.
Effective March 29, 2023, a person who wishes to buy a pistol will not be required to apply for a pistol purchase permit through the Sheriff's Office.
The Sheriff's Office will not issue any pistol purchase permits but will continue to offer the services that it has previously provided with regard to concealed carry permits, fingerprinting and other services.
Effective Wednesday, March 29, 2023, the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office Gun Permits Office accepts walk-ins, Monday thru Thursday, from 8 am- 4 pm for background checks and fingerprints. Fingerprints required for concealed carry permits are done by appointment only per application.
Due to system maintenance, the concealed handgun application online portal is currently unavailable and should resume soon. We apologize for any inconvenience.
The Cumberland County Sheriff's Office Gun Permits Office can be reached at 910-677-5574 or by emailing [email protected].
