The Enumclaw Police Department can only process CPL applications for those who reside within the Enumclaw City limits. This includes county addresses that have been annexed into the City. You cannot substitute an Enumclaw business or mailing address. Eligibility is based on your physical home address only. If you are uncertain if you reside within the City limits call the PD at 360 825-3505.

Disqualifications

Disqualifications include being a convicted felon or convicted of any domestic violence charge. Additional information regarding disqualifiers can be found on the application.

Application

All applicants are required to complete a Concealed Pistol License Application. You will be required to provide your Driver License at the time of submission. The address on your driver license must match the address on your application. If you have updated your home address online with the Department of Licensing, that will be verified at the time of submission. If your address has not been updated with the Department of Licensing, you will be required to bring a copy of a utility bill which lists your name and address.

Fees

CPL fees can be paid by credit/debit card, exact cash or a personal check made out to the City of Enumclaw. 

  • Original License $48  
  • Renewal $32 – Renewals can be processed up to 90 days prior to expiration.
  • Late Renewal $42 – Late renewals can be processed up to 90 days after expiration. After 90 days you must apply for an original license and pay that fee.
