Concealed Pistol Permits

You may apply for a South Dakota Concealed Pistol Permit at the Hamlin County Sheriff's Office during our normal business hours (9:00 AM to 4:00 PM Central Time, besides holidays) and by appointment only.  

Pistol permit application will normally take about 15 minutes for a regular permit.  

For enhanced/golden applications, this process can take at least 30 minutes. To speed up this process, you can fill out the application and print cards before coming to the sheriff's office. Download the application and fingerprinting instructions below.

Visit the South Dakota Secretary of State's website on the requirements to be eligible to obtain a permit, state law on carrying a concealed pistol,  other gun laws, and the types of permits available.
