Individuals who reside in the city of Livermore may apply for a Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) license. 

In California, the Sheriffs/Police Chiefs and their staff are required to follow strict state and local guidelines when performing the necessary background checks for issuing Carry Concealed Weapon licenses. Due to the detailed nature involved with conducting these background checks, appointment times and processing times can take multiple weeks or months. 

All information about what is needed and fees are at the link below.

All new applicants must complete a full background investigation that includes:

• Submit Application through online portal (Permitium)
• Livescan
• Background Investigation
• Psychological Assessment*
• 16-hour CA DOJ Approved CCW Training Course*

* Third-party vendors

If you currently hold a CCW permit issued from the Alameda County Sheriff's Office, they will continue to renew your CCW permit. If you want to renew your CCW with the Livermore Police Department you will have to complete a full background investigation, as detailed above.
