Pursuant to ORS 166.295(1)(a), a concealed handgun license is renewable by repeating the procedures set out in ORS 166.291 and ORS 166.292.
An Oregon CHL is valid for 4 years from the date of issuance, unless otherwise revoked or denied.
Fees are set by individual county sheriff's offices but are consistent across the sources reviewed:
| Service | Fee |
|---|---|
| Renewal | $75.00 |
| Transfer | $30.00 |
| Transfer with Renewal | $90.00 |
| Address Change | $15.00 |
| Name Change | $15.00 |
| Duplicate/Replacement Card | $15.00 |
Note: Fees are non-refundable. Some counties charge an additional convenience fee (e.g., 2-3%) for credit/debit card payments. Payment methods accepted vary by county but generally include cash, check, and credit/debit cards.
Per ORS 166.292, the sheriff has 45 days to process a renewal application. Some counties may process applications sooner depending on workload.
An otherwise expired concealed handgun license continues to be valid for up to 45 days after the licensee applies for renewal, provided that:
The renewal process varies slightly by county:
If you applied for renewal before your license expired and have proof of the renewal application (receipt), your expired CHL remains valid for up to 45 days while the renewal is being processed. Columbia County advises carrying the receipt along with your current CHL until the new license arrives in the mail.
If your CHL has expired and you did not apply for renewal before the expiration date, you cannot legally carry concealed. You must apply for renewal and receive your new card before you are legally permitted to carry concealed again.
Active members of the armed forces of the United States, the National Guard of the United States, or the Oregon National Guard may submit a renewal application online (per Columbia County guidance via Permitium).
A CHL can be denied on renewal or revoked for any of the reasons that would cause denial of an initial application, including:
Per ORS 166.293(5), if a renewal application is denied or a license is revoked, the applicant will be notified by certified letter and has 30 days from the date of receipt to appeal the decision through Circuit Court.
Per ORS 166.295(C)(2), licensees are required to report any change of address, and the sheriff shall issue a new license as a duplicate for the change of address. The license expires on the same date as the original. Failure to report a change of address may result in revocation. The fee for address or name changes is $15.00.
