Do you need to request a replacement or revise your license?

Note: Your concealed weapon license number is required to complete a replacement or revised license transaction. If you cannot locate your license number, contact the Public Inquiry Center at (850) 245-5691 for help.

Fees: Both replacement and revised license transactions are subject to a fee of $27 ($15 FDACS fee plus $12 convenience fee).

How to Request a Replacement License:

Important: All replacement license requests must include a notarized statement confirming the license is lost, stolen, or destroyed.

You can request a replacement license through three methods:

  1. Visit one of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) regional offices (notarization services are available)
  2. Appear in person at our North Tampa office
  3. Mail your request to: Division of Licensing P.O. Box 6387 Tallahassee, FL 32314-6387

How to Request a License Revision:

  • If your name has changed, you may request a revised license.
    • Name change requests require a copy of a legal document (e.g., state-issued driver license or ID, US Passports or U.S. active/reserve/retired military identification) as proof of the name change.
    • Revisions involving name changes will not be printed in a tax collector office. These revisions must be reviewed by FDACS and will be mailed from the state agency in Tallahassee.
  • If you need to update only your contact information (address, phone number, or email address), a replacement license is not required. The easiest way to submit updated contact information is through the FDACS website. Click here to access the FDACS website.
  • If there is incorrect information on your license (e.g., misspelled name or incorrect date of birth), please contact the FDACS Public Inquiry Center at (850) 245-5691 or chat for assistance.
