DUPLICATE HANDGUN PERMIT, CHANGE OF ADDRESS

ALL handgun permit applicants seeking a new, renewal, or replacement permit must provide proof of U.S. Citizenship or Lawful Permanent Residency.

By law if you move, you are required to notify us of your new address within sixty (60) days. You may notify the Department of Safety to change your address on our records, by calling toll-free 1-866-849-3548 or online at https://www.tennesseeanytime.org/chgdl/.

If you wish to receive a permit with your new address, or if you have misplaced or lost your handgun carry permit, you will need to apply for a duplicate.

To receive a duplicate handgun carry permit:

• You will need to complete an application.  To receive an application by mail call toll-free 1-866-849-3548.
• Complete and sign your application. Mail the application, CERTIFIED PROOF of U.S. Citizenship or Lawful Permanent Residency (no photocopies; documents will NOT be returned) and the $5.00 fee payable by check or money order to the following address:
• Tennessee Department of Safety
  Handgun Permit Office
  1150 Foster Ave.
  Nashville, TN 37243-1000
• You may also get your duplicate application at any driver license service center. The driver license service center cannot issue the duplicate handgun carry permit.
• Incomplete applications cannot be processed.
