Michigan CPL Cost. What You Pay for Your Concealed Pistol License.
There are two parts to the cost of a Michigan CPL: the government fees you pay your county clerk and the State Police, and the separate tuition you pay your instructor for the class. Here is how much a CPL costs in Michigan, broken down.
Government fees
| Fee | Amount | Paid to |
|---|---|---|
| New application and licensing fee | $100 | Paid to your county clerk |
| Fingerprinting | $15 | Paid to the fingerprinting provider |
| Renewal fee | $115 | Paid to the county clerk or the State Police |
| Replacement license | $10 | Paid to your county clerk |
Instructor tuition
Class tuition is set by each instructor and is not capped by the state, so prices vary. You will see the exact price on each listing when you search for a class. Booking through the platform shows one all-in price with no surprise fees at checkout.
A realistic all-in figure
For a first-time CPL, plan on the $100 application fee plus $15 fingerprinting paid to the county, and separate class tuition that most often lands in the rough range of $70 to $200. Renewal is different: the state fee is $115 and the training is lighter. See the renewal page for those details.
Renewing instead of applying?
Renewal has its own reduced training, its own $115 fee, and a specific window to file. We cover all of it on a dedicated page so you can see exactly what renewal costs and requires.
