Convenient location in Doral to renew or apply for your concealed weapons permit.
I came here the other day to renew my license. There was no line and the process went fast and smooth. I paid $ 60 for my renewal. They take checks or money orders. No Cash or Credit Cards. They take appointments for new applications. The staff was friendly and professional. Plenty of parking.

Efficient service. If every government agency would work like this they would deliver world class service.

Excellent service and wonderful employees. They truly have a well oiled machine of an operation going here which is extremely rare when dealing with FL government offices and Miami in general.
MAKE AN APPOINTMENT IN ADVANCE!!!
(if you don’t, you will waste your time)
I’ll admit it, we made the mistake of just showing up the first time without an appointment, luckily we are understanding people and we didn’t blow up at the poor receptionist like most people do and sadly got to experience while waiting for our actual appointment.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO:
1. MAKE AN APPOINTMENT IN ADVANCE: I have to repeat this statement because that is how critical it is. No exceptions. It took 8 weeks after we showed up without an appointment to get an appointment. It’s a government agency, they are busy and underfunded, waiting for an appointment is expected, plan for it.
2. THE LOCATION IS NOT EASY TO FIND: Use multiple GPS devices to get here and give yourself an extra 30 minutes as well in case you get lost so that you can still keep your long awaited appointment. You will go through a guard gate to get to the office, weird I know but if you made it to the guard gate, you are close. Ask the guard for additional instructions.
3. CHECKING IN FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT: If you do not have all of your necessary documents with you required for your appointment, you will have to reschedule. Come prepared! Ask questions in advance and read the government websites with specific instructions.
4. FORMS OF PAYMENT: NO CASH. No exceptions.
5. FINGERPRINTING: Do not wear any moisturizers, you will prolong the process. If you have hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating of the hands/​fingers) you need to give yourself some extra time for your appointment. They will be patient with you but it will take more time. Rubbing alcohol on your hands to try to dry them out helps.
6. WAITING FOR YOUR PERMIT: Once you finish your appointment, it will take possibly 90 days or longer to receive your permit. There is no way to expedite! Just plan accordingly.
We experienced excellent customer service from beginning to end. We dealt with Norma and she was superb!
