PIKESVILLE, Md. — Maryland State Police has extended the window to renew certain licenses, permits and registrations through June 30.
The move comes thanks to a March 9 order from Larry Hogan extending the COVID-19 state-of-emergency.
That means any license, permit, or registration that expired between March 12, 2020 will have to be renewed once the new deadline has passed.
Here are some of the licenses covered under the extension.
| Machine Gun Registration / Renewal | Qualified Handgun Instructor License |
| Wear and Carry (Handgun) Permit | Security Guard Certifications and Agencies |
| LEOSA | Private Detective Certifications and Agencies |
| MD Regulated Firearm Dealers License | Security Systems Technicians and Agencies |
| MD New Resident Registration | Special Police Commissions |
