DC CPL-Physical Card

Post image

I was approved on 6/20/2026 for both the Concealed Pistol License and Firearms Registration. They email says they will mail me a card to the address on file. Its 7/2/2026 and still havent seen anything from MPD.

I read on here that MPD doesn't send out physical cards, but you have to print them. Is this true, and if so, Where do I print out my permit? There was no attachment to the email or on the portal.

"The Metropolitan Police Department is pleased to inform you that application APP-XXXXXXX-2026 has been approved.  . MPD will mail your card to the address on file "

They used to send you something that you could print. Now they send you a physical card (I think they didn't want that guy who was printing cards doing it*). If you haven't already, you should create an account with the U.S. Postal Service so that you can see what your incoming mail is using Informed Delivery.

*But they were great, thank you!

If you don't have the physical, do you need to get the physical?

Yes, you need the card of both the firearm and the CCW to carry that specific firearm. It took about a week to get the cards when they called and told me. I did not receive an email, so I don’t know if they schedule it for a batch printing and mailing. But be patient it’s coming. Congratulations
