Time to Renew? Here’s What You Need to Know About Your California CCW Renewal
Is your Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) permit about to expire? Don’t wait until it’s too late. Renewing your California CCW is easier than you might think—especially if you live in Fresno, Madera, or Kings County. In this post, we’ll walk you through what to expect during the renewal process and why our 8-hour Online CCW Renewal Course is the most convenient way for local residents to stay compliant and confident.
Why CCW Renewal Matters
In most California counties, a Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) permit is valid for two years. If your permit expires, you won’t be able to simply renew it—you’ll have to start the entire application process over again, which includes retaking the full 16-hour course. Staying on top of your renewal not only helps you avoid extra steps and costs, but it also ensures your legal protections and right to carry remain active without interruption.
When Should You Start the Renewal Process?
Start the process at least 45–60 days before your permit expires. Many issuing agencies don’t allow renewal applications to be submitted more than 30 days in advance, but you’ll want to complete your course ahead of time. Be sure to check with your local sheriff’s office or issuing agency for exact deadlines and required documentation.
What’s Required for CCW Renewal in California?
Most counties require:
Proof of completion of an 8-hour renewal course
