License to Purchase Handguns (LTP)

Holland City residents wishing to obtain a LTP must appear at the department, fill out the application form, pay a notary fee and have a valid Michigan Driver’s license or Identification card. The approval process generally takes 2-3 business days, but may take up to two weeks. 

  •  The seller shall return the copy of the LTP within 10 days to Holland Department of Public Safety Police Department. A seller who fails to comply with the requirements of this subsection is responsible for a state civil infraction and may be fined not more than $250.00. If a seller is found responsible for a state civil infraction under this subsection, the court shall notify the department of state police of that determination.
  • The owner of the pistol is required to carry his/her copy of the LTP with them for 30 days if they are carrying, transporting or possessing that pistol. After 30 days they are not required to carry the form.
