Application
View the Permit to Purchase Application (PDF).
Complete all the sections of the application except “Dealer Information.” Completed applications can be mailed/dropped off at the police department, or submit to the Police Department for review. You can submit the form online here. After your permit is approved, someone will call you to arrange a time for you to pick up your permit. You must bring your MN Driver’s License with you at that time. If your permit is denied, you will receive a letter in the mail.
