The Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office reopened the Registration Office responsible for fingerprinting, pistol purchase permits, concealed handgun permits, and court ordered registration for sex offenders to the public. Concealed Handgun Permits and Fingerprint services are by appointment only. Purchase permits are submitted online, and no appointment is required. The office will be available by appointment only, walk-ins will not be accepted at this time.
Prior to entering the office for your appointment, everyone must have their temperature taken and receive a wristband at Mecklenburg County Detention Center Central located directly across the street at 801 East Fourth Street. We also request that a mask and/or face covering be worn to the appointment. There will also be identifiable floor markers to enforce social distancing.
