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

You must reapply as a new applicant
You have a 30-day grace period to renew
You can still renew up to 90 days after expiry
Your CPL is permanently revoked

The correct answer is: You must reapply as a new applicant

If you fail to renew your CPL before it expires in Washington, you must reapply as a new applicant. This means that once your concealed pistol license has expired, you cannot simply pay a renewal fee to extend it; the process requires you to go through the entire application procedure again. This typically involves submitting a new application, undergoing a background check, and meeting all the requirements as if you were seeking a CPL for the first time. Additionally, while individuals may have the intention of renewing their licenses during a grace period, in Washington, there is no grace period for renewal once the CPL has expired. It is critical for CPL holders to be aware of their license expiration dates and take the necessary steps to renew it on time to avoid the complications associated with reapplying as a new applicant.
