Are fingerprinting services required when applying for a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit?

  1. Yes, for all applicants

  2. No, fingerprinting is not required

  3. Only for non-residents

  4. Only if you have a criminal record

The correct answer is: No, fingerprinting is not required

Virginia does not require fingerprinting services for individuals applying for a Concealed Handgun Permit. Option A is incorrect because Virginia only requires fingerprinting for applicants seeking a Concealed Handgun Permit from another state or those applying for a Federal Firearms License. Option C is incorrect because Virginia does not differentiate between residents and non-residents when it comes to fingerprinting requirements. Option D is also incorrect because even if an individual has a criminal record, they are not required to submit to fingerprinting in order to apply for a Concealed Handgun Permit in Virginia.
