Frequently asked questions

Can I use this for a License to Carry (LTC) or CCW application?

Many state police departments accept a completion certificate signed by a certified instructor, but every state and town sets its own rules. Check which course and which details (instructor ID, hours, live-fire) your licensing authority requires, then add them using the extra fields.

Is this an official state Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC)?

No. States like California issue their own official FSC cards through approved test centers. This template is for instructors and ranges documenting that a student completed their course.

What size is a firearm safety certificate?

Most certificates are printed on US Letter (11 × 8.5 inches) in landscape. A4 landscape (297 × 210 mm) is the standard outside the US. You can also choose portrait, a 8.5 × 3.5 inch gift certificate, a 7 × 5 card, or type any custom size — the PDF page is made at exactly that size.

What paper should I print certificates on?

Use 65–110 lb card stock or parchment paper for a premium feel. In your print dialog choose 'Actual size' (100%) and the highest quality setting. Most home inkjet and laser printers handle 65–80 lb card stock.

Is this firearm safety certificate free?

Yes — 100% free with no sign-up, no watermark and no limits. Edit in your browser and download as many PDFs or PNGs as you need.

Can I add my logo and a signature?

Yes. Upload your logo (PNG with a transparent background looks best) and fill in up to two signature names and titles. Sign by hand after printing, or print and scan a signature.
