Frequently Asked Questions about Conceal Carry Permits

I am not sure what is on my record and I want to include the correct information on my application, should I run a Criminal History Record Search before filling out my application?  

The OSBI conducts a background check at the local, state and national levels as part of the application process.  It is not necessary for you to run a Criminal History Record search on yourself before filing your application.  However, if you are unsure about any arrest/conviction information on your record and feel it would help with accuracy on your application, you are welcome to do so.  Please bear in mind that the OSBI is only a repository for the State of Oklahoma.  Any arrests or convictions you had in another State will not show on the rap sheet given with an Oklahoma Criminal History Search. 

A good rule of thumb would be if you were arrested and fingerprinted, you should include that information on your application.
