What happens if your CPL expires in Washington?

  1. It can be renewed at any time with no penalty

  2. You must reapply as a new applicant

  3. There is a grace period for renewal

  4. You have to wait one year before reapplying

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

If your CPL (concealed pistol license) expires in Washington, you must reapply as a new applicant. This means that you will have to go through the entire application process again, including submitting all necessary documents and undergoing background checks. This may also result in additional fees. Unlike some other states, Washington does not have a grace period for CPL renewal. Additionally, there is no penalty for renewing your CPL before it expires, so it is recommended to do so in a timely manner. Option A is incorrect because renewing your CPL before it expires or within 90 days of expiration will result in a lower renewal fee. Option C is incorrect because, as previously mentioned, there is no grace period for CPL renewal in Washington. Option D is incorrect because you do not have to wait a year before reapplying, but rather can reapply as a new applicant at any time after your CPL expires.
