Park in the lot beside the Old Historic Courthouse. The new Courthouse is located at the end of the parking lot. Do not carry any weapons into the courthouse. Pass through the metal detector and take the elevator to the 2nd floor.

Exit the elevator and turn left, about 15 feet down the hall to the right is suite 201, the probate court offices.

The clerk will watch you fill out the form and take you index finger print with temporary ink.

The clerk will then give you 2 fingerprint cards and a slip of paper that contains the following directions:
"Take a $24.00 money order payable to the BGI and Fingerprint Cards to the Floyd County Jail Tues. - Fri. 9:00 - 11:00 OR 1:00 - 3:00"

The jail is located on Hwy 53 just as you are about to leave the Rome city limits heading towards Calhoun. It is on the right just after you pass the Dodge dealership.

At the jail you will enter the set of doors to the left. The doors directly in front of the parking lot lead to the waiting room to see inmates. You give the money order and fingerprint cards to the person and they will take 2 sets of prints from both hands.

After that you wait 2 months and call the Probate office at (706-291-5136 or 706-233-0060) to see if your permit is ready.

If it is bring $15.00 cash to the Probate Court Office and receive your permit.

The people at the Jail and the Probate court were all friendly people.
