The Maryland State Police Licensing Division is dedicated to keeping our Regulated Firearms Dealers better informed regarding the progress being made with respect to the processing of the 54,108 Maryland State Police Application and Affidavit to Purchase a Regulated Firearm forms. It is our hope that this weekly update helps dealers respond to its customers and offers them the ability to better coordinate its plans of operation.

We continue to dedicate our resources every day and are committed to processing each application with care, quality and diligence.

To assist Licensing Division in processing applications, dealers are asked to review applications prior to submission.
