Applications are only obtainable from the Law Enforcement Agency in which you reside (i.e., City of New Ulm residents obtain the application from the New Ulm Police Department, Brown County residents obtain the application from the Brown County Sheriff's Department, etc.). Access the Minnesota Uniform Firearm Application (PDF).
When the application is completed, the agency has 7 to 10 days to conduct several records checks and will mail approved permits. If you have any questions, please call 507-233-6750.
