Call or email to schedule Qualification Renewals: (Please read carefully in the Course Details for more information on the qualification portion and what to bring to the range.)*

To renew your concealed carry permit, the expiration date on the permit you are trying to renew must be within 4 months of its expiration date.

The fees and the background investigation process are the same for initial and renewal Concealed Carry Permit applications, except for fingerprinting which is not required for renewal applications. Renewal applications require the same information as initial applications (four references, all handguns you intend to carry, photo, training certifications, and mental health release forms). You will need to enter the information for all the handguns you intend to carry each time you renew your Concealed Carry Permit.

Applicants renewing their Concealed Carry Permits do not need to be fingerprinted again. Once you have been fingerprinted for a New Jersey firearm application you are assigned an SBI number. After that, you do not need to be fingerprinted again unless there is an unresolved issue with your fingerprints from a past application. You will use your SBI number when you apply.
