  • Personal checks will NOT be accepted.
  • Please bring in a valid driver's license.  Make sure that the address on the application matches the address on your license.  Should the addresses not match, you must provide a utility bill showing your name and current address.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR RENEWALS BY MAIL:

  • Please remember, we cannot process a renewal application any sooner than 30 days prior to expiration, nor can we process the application if the commission has already expired.  Any renewal packets received in this office after the expiration date will be rejected.

  • When completing the application packet online with the GSCCCA, please follow all instructions  carefully.  Failure to do so could cause your application to be rejected.

  • Payment information will be entered during the application process at the GSCCCA website.  GSCCCA will not charge your credit card until your application is processed and accepted in this Clerk's Office.  In the event of a Card Error message during processing, we must reject the application packet back to you in the mail without processing.  You would then need to complete another application.
