Welcome to the online California
Film Permit Application.
A permit is required whenever filming takes place on state property. The California
Film Commission is a one stop shop for State permits and will assist you in obtaining
the required approvals from the CHP, Caltrans, State Parks, Facilities and the
State Fire Marshal, where necessary.
