What is the process for renewing a Washington CPL?

  1. Mail in the renewal form before expiration

  2. Complete a new application in person

  3. No action needed; it renews automatically

  4. Pass a new background check

The correct answer is: Complete a new application in person

Completing a new application in person is the necessary process for renewing a Washington CPL. This option allows for the application to be properly reviewed and updated with any new information since the last renewal. The other options are incorrect because A: This option will not guarantee that the application will be processed in time before the expiration date. Additionally, the form may not reach the proper destination if it is not sent early enough. C: While some CPLs do renew automatically, this may not be the case for all CPLs. It is important to check with your local agency to determine if this applies to your particular license. D: While a background check may be required for renewing a Washington CPL, completing a new application in person is still necessary in order to update any other information that may have changed. Additionally, this option allows for the proper submission and review of the background check.
