Danvers Police Make Changes To The Firearms Licensing Schedule

The available dates/times for firearms licensing will be changing at the Danvers Police Department, according to officials.

The new licensing schedule will be posted on the on-line calendar as well as in the lobby of the police station as soon as it is available, according to police officials.

Current processing time for new applicants/renewals is approximately six weeks.

Applicants can come to the police station on specified dates and will be seen in the order in which they arrive. You may arrive at the police station at any time during the posted hours on a licensing day.

Available dates and times can be found on the DPD Events Calendar or by calling 978-774-1213 x6. The list is also posted in the lobby of the police station.

Applicants are instructed to arrive at the station with their application already completed, a check for the appropriate fee and any other supporting documents necessary. Click here to download the complete applicant instruction and procedure form.

We hope that this new procedure will reduce the wait and processing times for licenses. Our goal is to meet with applicants and deliver approved licenses faster and in a more efficient manner.
