State police say North Country pistol license holders can now recertify their license as required under state law.
“Failure to recertify will serve as a basis for revocation of the license,” a release from state police says.
The state police have created an online process that will allow licensees to quickly complete their recertification by visiting http://troopers.ny.gov/firearms.
There is no cost for recertification, and licensees who do not wish to use the online process can download a form from the website, and paper forms will also be available at any state police station.
Recent changes to New York State Penal Law require license holders to recertify every five years. Individuals who were issued a pistol license before Jan. 15, 2013, must recertify by January 31, 2018. The deadline to recertify for those issued a license on or after Jan. 15, 2013, is five years from the date the license was issued.
As part of the recertification process, licensees must affirm that they are not prohibited from possessing firearms under state and federal law, and must also confirm certain personal information, as well as provide details about the pistols and revolvers they own.
