Georgia Weapons Carry License

  1. Scam Warning

    Hall County Probate Court will not text you regarding your Georgia Weapons Carry License. Be aware that there is currently a nationwide scam text/email campaign urging you to get your concealed carry permit before it's too late. The texts/emails did not originate from Hall County Probate Court. We do not know where the senders got their phone/email list, but it was not from Hall County Probate Court as many recipients are not residents of Hall County or Georgia. You should be cautious about clicking links in text messages unless you fully trust the source of that message.

Change of Address

If your address changes during the time your Weapons Carry License is valid, you must change the address on your license by going to the Probate Court in the county that issued your license. If Hall County Probate Court issued your license, you can get the address changed by visiting Hall County Probate Court. You should bring with you:

  • Valid government issued photo ID (GA Drivers License) with your new address on it.
  • Reprint fee of $6.00 (cash, local check, or credit card with service fee).

If you have moved to Hall County and have a license issued by one of the other 158 counties in Georgia, you must return to that county to change your address. You must appear in person for this process and you must turn in your old license to the court before you will be given a new one, pursuant to Georgia law.
