License to Carry Firearms / Firearms Identification Card Application Process
All first time applicants for a LTC/FID must submit a state approved Basic Firearms Safety Course certificate issued by a
Massachusetts Certified instructor or a Hunter Safety Course certificate issued by the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife. Out of state
and NRA certificates do not meet this requirement. Active members of the Armed Services who receive adequate firearms safety
training are exempt from this requirement if they can provide a valid I.D. Applicants for Class D license (chemical propellant only)
are also exempt from this requirement. As of August 2014 it is no longer necessary for persons 18 and older to hold an FID to possess
chemical sprays. Applicants for renewal must complete an additional affidavit regarding lost and stolen firearms.
FEES:
There is a $100.00 non-refundable application fee, this includes applicants 70 years of age for the first issue of a permit. This
fee is waived for persons age 70 when renewing a LTC/FID.
The fee for FID applicants under the age of 18 is $25.00.
These fees may be paid only in the form of a personal or bank check made out to the Town of East Longmeadow.
CASH IS NOT ACCCEPTED
Licenses are processed from 8 am-1 pm and 6 pm-9 pm daily. The application process takes approximately 25-30 minutes to
complete. It is best to call ahead to schedule an appointment. Walk-in applicants will only be accommodated if time and licensing
personnel are available. Scheduled applicants will be given preference. In order to expedite the process make sure the application is
filled out completely and signed. Please attach any other required documents such as safety certificates.
Include a self-addressed stamped envelope.
If you are a naturalized citizen you must provide proof of naturalization in the form of naturalization papers.

A full set of inked fingerprints will be obtained from all first time applicants.
Proof of East Longmeadow residence: MA driver’s license or ID with valid East Longmeadow address and utility bill
(Electric, Gas, Land Phone Line, or Lease Agreement).
Question number 10 on the application asks “Have you ever appeared in any court as a defendant for any criminal offense (excluding
non-criminal traffic offenses)”? You must document any appearance in any court as a defendant for any criminal offense. The
disposition of the case does not matter. If your case was dismissed, nolle prossed, continued or you were found not guilty it must be
disclosed. Failure to answer this question truthfully may result in the denial, suspension or revocation of your firearms license.
Applications are signed under the penalties of perjury. Failure to answer questions truthfully is a criminal offense under the
Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 140 Sections 129 and 131.
Licenses will be issued for the following reasons and restrictions will apply in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws
Chapter 140 Sections 129B and 131.
Firearms Identification Cards - No restrictions.
License to Carry – No restrictions.
Applications submitted to the Department are done so under the pains and penalties of perjury. Any false answer(s) will be just cause
for denial or revocation of your firearms license.
If you are denied or disqualified for any reason you will be notified in writing of both the reason for denial and the appeal process.
