A license to carry a concealed pistol issued
on or after July 1, 2003, but before July 1, 2006, is valid for
5 years. A license to carry a concealed pistol issued or renewed
on or after July 1, 2006, is valid until the applicant’s date of
birth that falls not less than 4 years or more than 5 years
after the license is issued or renewed.
An application is considered a renewal if the
applicant has received a concealed pistol license under
compliance of the training requirements set forth in the Act
after July 1, 2001.
A CCW license is renewed in the same manner
as the original license (see Application Information). The cost
for a renewal license is $105.
Beginning January 1, 2007, an applicant who
is applying for a renewal of a license is not required to have
fingerprints taken again if the applicant’s fingerprints have
been submitted to and maintained by the Department of State
Police for on-going comparison with the automated fingerprint
comparison system. The Department of State Police began storing
applicant fingerprints on January 1, 2006. Therefore, an
applicant is not exempt from this requirement unless the last
time fingerprints were submitted was after January 1, 2006.
For an individual
licensed after July 1, 2001, and subsequently applying for a
renewal:
Pistol safety training course is not
required
Applicant shall present a statement signed
by the applicant certifying that he/she has:
Completed
at least three (3) hours of review of the pistol safety training
course and has at least 1 hour of firing range time in the
6 months immediately preceding the renewal application.
