Georgia Weapons Carry License
Henry County
If you live in Henry County, this is where you apply — Henry County Probate Court, in person. We cannot issue a licence and neither can any other dealer. Here is what the court asks for, and what it costs.
The Process
Applying in Henry County
01
Start the application online
Georgia’s probate courts take applications through the Georgia Probate Court Manager site. Fill it in before you go anywhere — you will need the confirmation number when you arrive.
02
Go to the court in person
Henry County Probate Court, 99 Sims Street, McDonough, GA 30253. You must live in Henry County to apply here, and you will need a non-expired, government-issued photo ID showing your current Henry County address. You must be at least 21.
03
Get fingerprinted
Where this happens depends on the court — some take prints on site, some send you elsewhere. There is a separate fee. We do not take fingerprints here, but we can point you at a local partner who does.
04
Wait for the background check
The court runs state and federal checks. Timing varies.
05
Collect or receive your licence
Some counties mail it; some have you come back. Several ask for a self-addressed stamped envelope at application time, so bring one.
