Do you live in Falls Church City (zip 22046) or Fairfax County (zips 22041 through 22044)? I think the City uses the Arlington Circuit courts, but most people with FC addresses actually live in Fairfax County.
http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/courts/circuit/SP-248.htm has links to a step-by-step guide for jumping through Fairfax County's hoops. Here's an excerpt:
First Time Application:
In addition to the completed application, you must provide the clerk with:
• Two additional copies of the original completed application. • A self-addressed stamped envelope. • Three copies of your certificate of competence with a handgun (see p.5). • Three copies of documentation to verify residence in Fairfax jurisdiction.
(see p. 4 and p.7).
The references point to specific information, do yourself a favor. get
http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/courts/circuit/pdf/CCR-CWP-10.pdf and go through it closely.
Note that this appears to my untrained eye to be more than required by the statute (e.g. more than a single copy of anything, a SASE, etc.) Fighting their extra-legal requirements might be the noble thing to do, but will undoubtedly require more effort.
Also, don't forget to write "not disclosed, if any" instead of your Social Security number, and use a proof of residence that omits this (e.g. don't use a voter registration card).
Finally, don't carry into the Courthouse when you submit your application.
