How to Renew Your CCW Permit
Renewal "packets" that include a renewal application and a return envelope are mailed to the permit holders mailing address that is on file with DPS. Packets are mailed approximately 60-90 days prior to the expiration date on the permit.
Permits may be renewed 90 days prior or up to 60 days after expiration. Applicants who submit for renewal after their permit expiration date may not carry concealed weapons until they receive their new permit.
Late Submissions: Renewal applications received 60 days or more after the permit's expiration will be denied and the applicant will be required to complete the 8 hour initial course again.
For your convenience the renewal application is available in the downloadable forms area of the DPS web site.
Complete the renewal application form. Include the appropriate fee in the form of a money order, cashier's or certified check; made payable to AZDPS, then mail both items to the Concealed Weapons Permit unit utilizing the below address.
