Provisional Permit
Provisional Firearm Permit Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Utah Provisional Concealed Firearm Permit?
The Utah Provisional Concealed Firearm Permit (PCFP) is a concealed firearm permit that allows a person who is 18-20 years old to carry a concealed firearm.
The requirements for the Provisional CFP are the same as the standard CFP.
The Provisional CFP expires on the holder’s 21st birthday. The Provisional CFP does not allow the holder to carry in primary and secondary schools (UCA 53-5-710(2). Please check your state or states you are planning to visit to see applicable local laws. It is the responsibility of the permit holder to know and understand the applicable laws for their home state and any state they plan to visit.
No. Per 18 USC 922(b)(1) a person under 21 may not purchase a handgun from a federal firearm licensee.
A complete application, including fingerprints, photo, and fees must be submitted for a standard permit. The only exception is the training requirement which may be satisfied by including a copy of your provisional permit. The bureau cannot not accept an application more than 60 days prior to the expiration date of the provisional permit.
You may take the class as long as you submit your application within one year of taking the class. Applications are not accepted before your 18th birthday.
DPS/BCI is currently in process of verifying the recognition status with other states. Recognition information can be found here and will be updated as it becomes available. As with all other laws, it is the responsibility of the individual to understand and comply with all applicable laws of the jurisdiction in question.
FAQ
Utah CFP Frequently Asked Questions
How long is a Utah CFP valid?
Five (5) years.
What is the cost to renew a Utah CFP?
Current charge for a renewal is $15.00 and it can be done online.
How long does the process take after filing the application?
There is a time limit of 60 days to either issue or deny on cause.
Does Utah list the firearms you are allowed to carry on the permit like California?
No, your Utah permit allows you to carry concealed any firearm you can legally possess and conceal.
If I get stopped by a police officer, do I, as a permit holder, have to tell the officer that I have a gun in my possession?
Although there is no legal requirement to identify yourself to a law enforcement officer, it is recommended to do so.
If an officer finds or sees a gun on your person during their contact with you, and you have not identified yourself as a permit holder in legal possession of a firearm, the officer may assume you are carrying the gun illegally and may take defensive action. For the safety of all involved, it is recommended to immediately identify yourself to the officer as a permit holder in possession of a handgun. This action gives the officer some assurance they are most likely dealing with a law abiding citizen.
Is there any way that I can check to see if my criminal history will prevent me from obtaining a concealed firearm permit BEFORE I go through the whole process of applying?
Yes. You can come into our office or call by phone and ask to speak with one of the investigators. If you explain to the investigator what type of problem you have had, he can give you a good idea whether you qualify for a concealed firearm permit or not.

The concealed firearm permit allows an individual to carry a firearm fully loaded and concealed. The permit also allows an individual to carry a firearm into public schools. Permit holders can not carry a firearm into federal or state restricted areas i.e. any airport secured area, federal facilities, courts, correctional & mental health facilities, law enforcement secured areas, a house of worship or private residence where notice given and/or posted, any secured area in which firearms are prohibited and notice posted, or otherwise prohibited by state of federal law.
Naturally, private property owners may apply whatever restrictions they want. Whether or not these restrictions violate one’s constitutional rights is for the civil courts to decide. But the only statutory restrictions on a permit holder are secured areas such as airports and federal buildings.
There is nothing in state statute that prohibits permit holders from being in a bar with a concealed firearm. However, it is illegal to be intoxicated and in possession of a firearm. The level of intoxication that is considered illegal is the same standard as when driving a car. (.08 B.A.C.)
Any action you take with a gun must be in direct self-defense; otherwise, it may be considered threatening with a dangerous weapon and you could be labeled as the aggressor. You may be criminally charged and you will possibly have your permit to carry a concealed firearm revoked. Carrying a firearm is very serious business. There is no room for mistakes. If you pull a firearm on someone or even display the weapon, then it must be in self defense or it is not justified.
No. Any U.S. citizen or legal resident (with the intent to reside in the United States) may obtain a Utah concealed firearm permit, providing they meet the minimum qualifications. View the minimum qualifications.

Utah CCW Course, in my opinion has the best CCW laws in the US today. Not pertaining to CCW but after the gross mis-justice in New Orleans during/after Katrina, when the government was confiscate law-abiding citizens firearms. Utah passed its own law making that a crime in their state. If you haven't heard about New Orleans confiscating firearms, you are not alone. Here is link to a Youtube video New Orleans Gun Confiscation. The other benefit is the cost of renewal is only $15.00.

Virginia, their permit is called concealed handgun permit (CHP) Florida and Utah does not specify handgun meaning their permit covers other things besides handguns.
As of May 2015 the following states will recognize a non-resident Virginia CHP permit. (28 states)
Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
