Everything you’ll need

Twenty-four documents stand between you and your license. We track every one.

Only some of them are yours to write. Four come from people who know you, one from your instructor, others from a court or an agency. We hold, track, and chase every one — so you never have to keep the list in your head.

All twenty-four, with the rule each one comes from.

Built for New Yorkers. In all five boroughs.

[How we carry it]

Five phases. We carry the weight in each one.

Here's what actually happens — and what we're doing at each step so you don't have to.

  1. Phase 01 / 05

    Qualify & enroll

    A two-minute eligibility check tells you exactly where you stand — no guesswork, no payment to start. Pick your package and we open your application.

  2. Phase 02 / 05

    Train

    Book your 18-hour firearms safety course early — it's the longest-lead item, and the certificate expires six months after it's dated. We track the clock for you.

  3. Phase 03 / 05

    Assemble

    References, statements, disclosures, and photos — we gather all the documents necessary and make sure the job gets done properly and simply.

  4. Phase 04 / 05

    Review & file

    We check that every requirement is complete and correct. You review the finished packet, then it's filed — by you on Self-Guided, or by us with Full Concierge — with everything prepared so it's quick and right, and we're with you the whole way.

  5. Phase 05 / 05

    Interview

    The final stretch — fingerprinting, your interview, and the NYPD's review. We make sure everything you filed lines up and that you know exactly what to expect, so nothing sends you back to the start of the line.

[Nothing slips through]

Every detail, handled — so nothing surprises you later.

[What it costs]

One fee to us. Everything else, at cost.

No games with pricing — one fee to us, and everything else paid straight to the government or your instructor.

The Refile Promise

If we assemble your filing packet and the License Division returns it as incomplete, we reassemble it and you refile at no additional charge from us. Government fees are set by the City and the State; we do not control them and cannot refund them. This is a promise about our work — not about the outcome of your application. The NYPD retains full investigative discretion.

Gun License NYC is a private document-preparation and case-management service. We are not attorneys and do not represent you before the NYPD License Division; only a New York-licensed attorney may. We cannot expedite or guarantee any outcome, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the NYPD or any government agency. On the Self-Guided plan you file your own application; with Full Concierge we prepare, review, and file it with the NYPD on your behalf. The NYPD retains full investigative discretion.

See if you qualify.

It takes two minutes, and there's no commitment.
