If you are applying for an original permit (Enhanced or Concealed) and have not had a Tennessee Handgun Carry Permit before, you must be fingerprinted in order to be processed. Fingerprint results may only be used for the purpose given when you register and are not shared with other agencies.
New fingerprinting is not required for renewals, duplicates, upgrading from an 8-year to Lifetime, or upgrading from Concealed to Enhanced.
