Applications are available online at www.missoulacounty.us. Click on “departments”, “sheriff’s office” and “forms”. There you will find links to fillable (you can enter information online, then print) or non-fillable form (that requires you to print it out and fill it out manually). You may also pick up an application at the Missoula County Sheriff’s Office on the second floor of the County Courthouse between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Completed applications are accepted from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., Tuesday through Thursday. You must submit your application in person, and you must sign your application in the presence of a designated person in the Sheriff’s Office.
When you submit your application, you will be required to show a current Montana Driver’s license or state issued picture identification card, be fingerprinted, and pay a non-refundable fee of $82.50. Payment may be made by check, cash, credit or debit card. We do not accept American Express.
