How often must a Washington CPL be renewed?

  1. Every 4 years

  2. Every 5 years

  3. Every 10 years

  4. It does not need to be renewed

The correct answer is: Every 5 years

In Washington, a Concealed Pistol License (CPL) must be renewed every five years. This renewal requirement ensures that license holders remain informed about any changes in laws or regulations surrounding concealed carry, as well as providing an opportunity for re-evaluation of eligibility. Regular renewal also helps maintain accountability among CPL holders. Other intervals such as four years, ten years, or perpetual licenses are not consistent with the actual legal requirements for maintaining a valid Washington CPL, thus emphasizing the importance of adhering to the five-year timeline for renewal.
