The below question was sent to the Cobb County Probate court today at 2;27 PM. The response came back shortly afterward.

Quick question:
Cobb Probate Court.

Before we make the trip to the courthouse, please tell me if the federal EAD (work permit) is sufficient proof of lawful presence for purposes of satisfying that requirement on the concealed carry license application for a foreign citizen who has deferred action on deportation (DACA) status. I also have a drivers license, SSN and several utility bills to show where we live.

I have the application here from the internet, but need to be sure we are reading it correctly before I continue with the process.

Thank you if you have time to advise us,

Response:

Hello,

Since you have a work permit, then you will be required to get a hunting license before you can apply for a weapons permit.

Please be aware, we are not open to the public.  We are scheduled to re-open on AUG 27^th and until that time, we are only honoring appointments that have been previously set in the last 2 months.  We are not taking new appointments.  If you do not already have an appointment, you will need to wait until AUG 27^th to apply (first come, first serve basis).  You must also have a valid Georgia driver’s license or state ID card, showing your current Cobb County address.  You must be a resident of Cobb to apply for a permit in Cobb.
