We still hope to reduce unnecessary trips to our facility. If you would prefer to email your application or submit it by mail, we will accept those applications in addition to hard copies dropped off at the station. Payments may be made by mail or turned in at your appointment.

Follow these steps:

- download a copy of the state LTC application and complete the form.

- submit to MPD by mail, email to firearms@mansfieldma.com, or by dropping off at the station 24/7.

- once the application has been submitted, schedule an appointment using our scheduling application by CLICKING HERE.

-arrive for your appointment. Please reference THIS DOCUMENT which outlines the precautions and steps we are taking to ensure the health and safety of our staff and applicants.

Please don’t hesitate to email or call with questions. We will work with you if your situation is unique. Leave a message by dialing 508-261-7300 and press extension 4 as soon as the auto-attendant picks up! A download of the application can be found HERE.

The process for obtaining an FID or LTC can be confusing! Follow these steps if you're interested in applying.  Printed applications can be found at the MPD front desk. If you would like to print your own form, find the appropriate one below and download it from the link provided. Then, submit the following at MPD to the attention of the Front Desk staff:

-the completed application,

-a copy of the certificate from an approved firearms safety course,

- a $100 check made payable to the "Town of Mansfield."

(You do not need a safety certificate for a renewal).

Once you have submitted your application packet, go to OUR SCHEDULING SITE (click here) and chose a date and time that works for you to come in and get your picture and fingerprints taken. After that, your application will be approved/denied by the Chief and sent to the Commonwealth for processing.

Questions? All inquiries should be directed to Mansfield Firearms email or call 508-851-6590. 

Currently, you can expect a wait time of approximately four months between the time when you drop off your application and you receive your new card. For renewals, we advise that you drop off your application 1-2 months prior to the expiration of your current LTC.
