You must be a City of Martinez resident to apply for a CCW at Martinez PD.

General Information:

Learning the laws regulating the use and carrying of firearms is a must for responsible ownership. Local regulations differ and laws vary from state to state. Citizens must know the laws of the jurisdiction where the firearm is to be carried.

In California, a municipal police department like the Martinez Police Department is required to follow strict state and local guidelines when performing the necessary background checks for issuing Concealed Carry Weapons licenses. Due to the detailed nature involved with conducting these background checks, appointment times and processing times can take up to 6 months.  During the application process, an applicant will meet with the Chief of Police for an interview and submit Livescan fingerprints.

Note: If you received your initial CCW license from another agency and would like to apply for a renewal CCW license in the City of Martinez, you would need to apply as a new CCW applicant.  

If you are RENEWING a Concealed Carry Weapon license in the City of Martinez, you cannot apply until sixty (60) or fewer days before your current license expires.
