The Delaware State Police, through the State Bureau of Identification (SBI), announces that individuals preparing to apply for a handgun qualified purchaser permit may now schedule fingerprint appointments with IdentoGO as part of the Permit to Purchase process.
Applicants are required to be fingerprinted as part of the background investigation conducted by SBI under the new Permit to Purchase law, which takes effect on November 16, 2025. The online application portal is anticipated to open next week, and individuals are encouraged to complete the fingerprinting and firearms safety training requirements in advance to avoid delays once it becomes available.
Fingerprinting services are available by appointment only through IdentoGO. When scheduling, applicants must use Service Code 27S8N2 to ensure their prints are appropriately routed for the Permit to Purchase process.
Appointments can be made online at https://uenroll.identogo.com.
Individuals who have not yet completed the required firearms safety training with an approved instructor should do so before submitting their application. A list of approved instructors is available on the Permit to Purchase website and is updated regularly as new instructors are certified.
SBI will begin processing complete applications once the online application portal goes live. By law, SBI is required to issue or deny a permit within 30 days of the receipt of a fully complete application.
