Concealed Carry Renewal Classes in Arizona

Renewal Application Requirements

1. Complete a CCW Renewal Application - available through the DPS online portal or by paper form.
2. Renewal fee: $43 (compared to $60 for an initial application).
3. No additional fingerprints required - for renewal purposes, the permit holder is not required to submit additional fingerprints (A.R.S. § 13-3112(K)).
4. No additional firearms competency demonstration required - the renewal process does not require re-demonstration of firearm competence.

Background Check

• Before a permit may be renewed, DPS must conduct a criminal history records check pursuant to A.R.S. § 41-1750 within 60 days after receipt of the renewal application (A.R.S. § 13-3112(K)).
• If the applicant is no longer eligible for a CCW permit, DPS must suspend or revoke the permit and notify the applicant in writing (A.R.S. § 13-3112(M)).

Late Renewal / Expired Permits

• If a renewal application is received more than 60 days after the expiration date of the CCW permit, DPS must deny the renewal application.
• In that case, the applicant must complete a new initial CCW application and pay the full initial application fee of $60.
• Renewal applications received 61 days or more after expiration will be returned to the permit holder.

Expired Permit as Proof of Competence

• An expired CCW permit issued by DPS may be used as proof of firearm competence for a new application, provided the permit was in good standing at the time of expiration. Revoked or suspended permits will not be accepted as proof of competence (A.R.S. § 13-3112(E)(6)(a)).

Online Renewal

• Renewal applications can be submitted online through the DPS CCW permit portal at azdpsccw.permitium.com.

Fee Deposit

• All initial and renewal application fees are deposited in the Concealed Weapons Permit Fund established by A.R.S. § 41-1722 (A.R.S. § 13-3112(U)).
