Application Process
Please apply in person at the Probate court. Click here for a sample of the Weapons Carry License application. Your valid driver’s license should show your correct Henry County address. If it does not show your correct Henry County address, please contact our office for additional information.

In order to keep your permit current, it will be necessary for you to apply for a new permit every five years. You may want to come into our office at least 2 months in advance of the expiration date listed on the permit to complete this process.
Please bring your current permit along with your valid driver’s license to the Henry County Probate Court. Your driver’s license should reflect your correct Henry County address. If it does not show your correct Henry County address, please contact our office for additional information.
