Precious Metal Business Forms

C O N T E N T S
[G.S. §§ 66-163 - 173]

Precious Metals Permits are issued by local law enforcement agencies (city police or county sheriff departments) where the business will be located on forms approved by the Department of Crime Control and Public Safety.  North Carolina General Statute Section 66-165 further explains this process. The approved forms are listed below. These forms may be reprinted on the local law enforcement agency's stationary.

Effective October 9, 2002, an applicant for a Precious Metals Dealer Permit and any person who has a 10% or more interest in a Precious Metals business or an officer or director of a corporation required to have a permit must submit a full set of fingerprints and the agency authorized to issue the Dealer Permit must request the SBI perform a criminal history check on all fingerprints submitted. In addition, a person, firm or corporation requesting a Special Occasion Permit must also comply with the fingerprint requirement. The SBI is authorized to charge the applicant a fee to perform the criminal record check. It is suggested that a separate certified check or money order made payable to "Department of Justice" be obtained from the applicant and others submitting fingerprints in the amount charged by the SBI. As of November 1, 2002, the fee is $38.00 per set of fingerprints for a state and federal criminal history. This fee can be changed by the SBI.
