When Am I Able to Renew My Nevada CCW?
The LVMPD recommends starting your renewal process at least 120 days before
your permit expires. If your permit has already expired when you renew, you’ll
have to pay a $15 late fee. However, the good news is that you have up to 364
days after your CCW expires to renew it.
What Is the Process to Renew My Nevada CCW?
The 4-hour refresh course ensures you’re up to date on Nevada law. You’ll also
get some range time and review safe handling procedures. The instructors will
cover drawing from different positions, lessons on awareness, and how to
develop a defensive mindset.
You’ll also perform the required range qualification. To complete that, you’ll need
your handgun and 30 rounds of ammunition.
Submit Your Application
Complete the renewal form provided by your local sheriff’s office. If you live in
Clark County, you will have to submit your renewal form to the Las Vegas
Metropolitan Police Department.
Provide Documentation
You will have to provide your current CCW permit, driver’s license, and renewal
class certificate. You will also have to complete a fingerprint/background check.
Wait
Most renewals are approved within 90 days. You’ll be notified when your new
permit is ready for pickup. If, for some reason, your permit renewal application is
denied, you will receive notice and an explanation. You can appeal the decision,
but there are certain automatic disqualifiers.
Do I Need to Retake the Shooting Qualification for My Nevada CCW Renewal?
Yes. All CCW renewals in Nevada require a live-fire qualification to demonstrate
continued firearm proficiency. During your renewal class, you’ll shoot the same
course of fire used in the original application process. However, the overall class
is half the length.
Can I Renew My Nevada CCW if I’ve Changed My Name or Address?
Yes, but you’ll need to update your personal information before or during the
renewal process. If you’ve legally changed your name (due to marriage, divorce,
etc.), bring certified documentation, such as a marriage certificate or court order,
along with your renewal packet.
If you are updating your address, simply provide a utility bill or other piece of
mail with your new address.
How Long Does It Take to Get My New Permit?
Processing times vary by county, but you should expect to receive your new
permit 60 to 90 days after you submit all your renewal documents and pay your
fees. If you renew early, your new permit will take effect as soon as it is issued.
You’ll receive a notification by email when your new card is ready.
If you wait until it is too close to the deadline, your new permit may not be
approved until after your old one expires. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to
legally carry a concealed firearm in Nevada until your new CCW license is ready.
