CONCEALED FIREARM PERMIT APPLICATION
4. RENEWALS
You may begin the renewal process for your permit at any time, but no credit will be provided for unused time. We
recommend starting the process 120 days BEFORE the permit expires. This will ensure the continuity of your permit.
An additional, non-refundable late fee will be assessed on all renewals that have expired. If a permit has been
expired more than 365 days, the application for renewal shall be treated as an initial application. Renewal
applications require the same documentation as an initial application.
5. DUPLICATE/CHANGE OF ADDRESS/CHANGE OF NAME
a. Duplicate: A non-refundable fee is required to replace a lost, stolen or destroyed permit. Additionally, an
affidavit or written statement must be completed.
b. Change of Address: Under Nevada law, you are required to notify this office in writing within 30 days of
changing your address. Failure to comply will result in a penalty fee being assessed.
c. Change of Name: A non-refundable fee is required to change your name on your permit.
6.
