Where to renew
You must renew your concealed pistol license in person at the law enforcement agency where you live:
- If you live in a city, apply at your local police department or the county sheriff.
- If you live in an unincorporated area of the county, apply at the county sheriff.
What to bring with you
- Valid, government-issued photo identification (for example, a Washington driver license or ID card).
- Your current concealed pistol license.
If you were out of state on military orders during the renewal period
To be exempt from late fees, you must provide a copy of your orders showing you were out of state during your license renewal period within 90 days of your return to Washington.
- The expiration date on your license won’t change. Your renewed license will expire 5 years from the previous expiration date.
