| 8:00 A.M. until 5:00 P.M., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays Probate court is at the new courthouse, not Sherrifs office, and the process begins here. After you finish at the probate court, you will visit the sheriffs office for finger printing. Driving directions to the probate court are:
Travel south of the square in Fayetteville on South Jeff Davis approx. 1/2 mile until it becomes Jimmy Mayfield Boulevard. From the point where South Jeff Davis becomes Jimmy Mayfield, Center Drive and the entrance to the Justice Center is approximately one-tenth of a mile on the right.
Staff at probate court was courteous and handled the application for renewal effeciently. The cost is $15 payable to the probate court and $32 cash (exact change only) paid to the Sheriffs office for finger printing.
The probate judge is not issuing any Temporary permits at this time (Aug. 2007) due to the Virginia Tech incident and some federal req't that the clerk couldn't cite.
Directions to the Sheriff's office for finger prints:
Exit on Center drive and turn left (North) on Jimmy Mayfield. Take the first left onto Johnson Ave approx. 1/3 mile ahead. Sheriffs complex is on the left at 155 Johnson Avenue.
When taking my finger prints at the Sheriffs office, the officer asked for my SSN and employer name & address. I asked if the SSN was req'd and he said yes, but that it's only used locally for tagging the finger print records in their database, will not appear on my firearms license. They use a digital finger print machine. --------------- Received 7/18/2008 ----------------- Go to the new courthouse. The probate court is on the first floor. I paid by a single check made payable to the probate court for a total of $47. Then off to the Sheriffs office for a digital fingerprint with no wait. License arrived one week latter. Thats right 7 days. Only comment made was from the very nice lady at the probate court that alot of people are coming in from the north side of the county lately.
