How many days does the Washington State Department of Licensing have to issue or deny a CPL after application?

  1. 30 days

  2. 60 days

  3. 90 days

  4. 120 days

The correct answer is: 60 days

In Washington State, after an application for a Concealed Pistol License (CPL) is submitted, the Department of Licensing is required to process the application and either issue or deny the CPL within 60 days. This timeframe is established to ensure that applicants receive a timely response regarding their license status while allowing the Department enough time to conduct necessary background checks and evaluations. Understanding this 60-day period is crucial for applicants as it helps set expectations regarding when they can expect to receive their CPL or learn the outcome of their application.
