[Session Law 2009 - 482]

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.  Session Law 2009-482 further explains this process.  This session law may be accessed at www.ncga.state.nc.us/Sessions/2009/Bills/House/PDF/H1637v6.pdf.  The approved forms are listed below. These forms may be reprinted on the local law enforcement agency's stationary.

Effective October 1, 2009, a person who purchases precious metals from the public, other than by an exempted transaction (as defined in the stautes) must have a permit issued to them by a local law enforcement agency.  Section 2 of Session Law 2009 - 482 provides detailed information as to the required permits and application process.

All applicants must apply for these permits with their respective local law enforcement agency.

Local law enforcement will require finger printing and criminal history checks on all applicants.  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.  The permit application fee of $180 will cover the cost of the fingerprint check.
