Nonresident Permits

Non-residents 21+ apply in writing directly to the Virginia State Police under § 18.2-308.06. You need the VSP nonresident application, proof of competence, fingerprints for a state/FBI background check, photographs, ID, and a fee not to exceed $100. Since January 1, 2021 VSP rejects online course certificates. Check whether your home state honors a Virginia nonresident permit. Permits are valid 5 years. Details and forms: VSP nonresident page.
