The Battle Ground Police Department has set up a new online service for city residents applying for new or renewed concealed pistol licenses.
The police department was required to close its building to the public due to COVID-19, which made applications and required fingerprinting for new applicants temporarily unavailable, according to a City of Battle Ground news release.
Now, applicants for a new concealed pistol license may apply, pay fees and schedule an appointment for fingerprinting at the police department online. Fingerprinting by scheduled appointment reduces COVID-19 health risks, the city said.
Renewal applicants may use the same online service, making the application and payment process more streamlined.
