All fees for concealed pistol licenses (CPL's) are received at the time of application. THIS FEE IS NON-REFUNDABLE. The State will only allow CPL's to be renewed within 90 days of the expiration date. CPL's that have expired may also be renewed up to 90 days after the expiration date, but a late fee will be charged. Any CPL that is 90 days past its expiration date will require the application for an original license again.
All original CPL applications require fingerprinting, regardless of whether you have been fingerprinted in the past or not. Fingerprinting is conducted during normal business hours Monday through Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Fingerprinting is also conducted after hours by appointment only. However, please note if we are dealing with an offender in our booking room during these times, fingerprinting could be delayed or even cancelled/rescheduled. Please call before you come to our office to confirm the availability of this service at 509-382-2518.
