From the 2007 North Dakota pamphlet on Concealed carry, this pamphlet should be available from any police/sheriff department as well:


[font=Arial,Bold]
[align=left]GENERAL INFORMATION REGARDING[/align]
[align=left]CONCEALED WEAPON PERMIT APPLICATIONS[/align][/font][font=Arial,Bold][font=Arial,Bold]
[align=left]Application Forms
[/font][/font]Application forms are available from the local police department, sheriff’s office, or by contacting the Bureau of Criminal Investigation.[/align][font=Arial,Bold][font=Arial,Bold]
[align=left]Minimum Age
[/font][/font]Applicants must be at least 18 years of age to apply for a permit.[/align][font=Arial,Bold][font=Arial,Bold]
[align=left]Testing[/align]
[/font][/font]
[align=left]Applicants must take a written test from a concealed weapon permit test[/align]
[align=left]administrator. Local police departments or sheriff’s offices can provide[/align]
[align=left]information on test administrators in your area. The Office of Attorney[/align]
[align=left]General website also provides a list of civilian test administrators. The[/align]
[align=left]written test is open-book and consists of ten questions. You must get all[/align]
[align=left]questions correct.[/align]
[font=Arial,Bold][font=Arial,Bold]
[align=left]Testing Fees
[/font][/font]The maximum amount a test administrator may charge for the test is $25. If the applicant does not pass the written test on the first attempt, the test administrator may charge for each subsequent test.[/align][font=Arial,Bold][font=Arial,Bold]
[align=left]Signatures Required
[/font][/font]Applications must be signed by the Sheriff of the county in which the applicant resides. If the applicant lives in a city with a police department, the application must also be signed by the Chief of Police.[/align][font=Arial,Bold][font=Arial,Bold]
[align=left]Applicant Fees/Photos/Fingerprints:[/align]
[/font][/font]
[align=left]After successful completion of the written test, submit the completed[/align]
[align=left]application, two color photos (size 1” x 1¼”) and a check for $25 made[/align]
[align=left]payable to the “North Dakota Office of Attorney General” to your local law[/align]
[align=left]enforcement agency. The agency will review your application, obtain[/align]
[align=left]fingerprints, conduct a local records check, determine your ability to obtain[/align]
[align=left]the permit, and forward the information to the BCI.[/align]
[font=Arial,Bold][font=Arial,Bold]
[align=left]Record Checks at BCI
[/font][/font]BCI performs state and national records checks and processes applicant fingerprints through the regional Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS).[/align][font=Arial,Bold][font=Arial,Bold]
[align=left]Those Prohibited
[/font][/font]Concealed weapon permits may only be issued to those who legally may possess a firearm or dangerous weapon. Individuals may be prohibited by state or federal law from owning, possessing, or having a firearm under their control.[/align][font=Arial,Bold][font=Arial,Bold]
[align=left]Weapon Purchase/NICS Alternative:[/align]
[/font][/font]
[align=left]Because a National Instant Check System (NICS) background check is[/align]
[align=left]completed during the application process, the requirement for a NICS check[/align]
[align=left]for each firearm purchase is waived for North Dakota residents with a valid[/align]
[align=left]concealed weapon permit. The NICS number is printed on the permit. The[/align]
[align=left]weapon dealer may choose to accept the permit as an alternate to a NICS[/align]
[align=left]check. They are not required to use it as an alternative.[/align]
[font=Arial,Bold][font=Arial,Bold]
[align=left]Nonresidents:
[/font][/font]Individuals who are not residents of North Dakota may apply for a North Dakota concealed weapon permit, but cannot use the permit as an alternate to a NICS check when purchasing firearms.[/align][font=Arial,Bold][font=Arial,Bold]
[align=left]Reciprocity:
[/font][/font]North Dakota has “reciprocity” with some, but not all, other states. This means that a North Dakota concealed weapon permit is valid while in those states, and permits from those states are recognized as valid in North Dakota. BCI maintains a list of states with which North Dakota has reciprocity.[/align][font=Arial,Bold][font=Arial,Bold]
Permit Period:
[/font][/font]Concealed weapon permits are valid for a period of three years.
