What happens if you fail to renew your Washington CPL before it expires?

You can renew it late with no penalty
You must apply for a new CPL
You receive a 30-day grace period to renew
You receive a fine but can still renew

The correct answer is: You must apply for a new CPL

If you fail to renew your Washington CPL before it expires, you must apply for a new CPL. Once your license has expired, it is no longer valid, and the renewal process is not applicable. Instead, you will need to go through the entire application process as if you were applying for a CPL for the first time. This includes completing the required paperwork, passing any background checks, and fulfilling other application requirements as set by the state. This policy ensures that all license holders meet current standards and undergo the necessary vetting process, contributing to public safety. The other choices suggest scenarios that are not aligned with Washington state law regarding CPL renewals. There is no provision for a late renewal without penalties or a grace period, and no fines are associated with renewing an expired license.
