How Can I Request a Blue Card by the Mail?

A blue card in most states is commonly known as a handgun license or registration card. To be eligible for a blue card, applicants must be at least 21 years of age or older, pass a state-required background check and a gun-safety exam. Besides your application, you will need to submit a copy of your state identification card, your Social Security card and a recent photo of your face and head. Although you will have to apply in person to receive your initial blue card, you can request your replacement by mail.
