The county clerk’s office sends your information to the Michigan State Police. The MSP run your background, and let the clerk know if you’re eligible or not.
Once the background check is done and you’re eligible, the County Clerk creates the Concealed Pistol License and sends it to you in the mail. This process takes between 7 – 45 days, depending upon county.
