Renew a Concealed Firearm Permit

WHEN

The Utah concealed firearm permit is valid for a period of five years. The Bureau of Criminal Identification will send a renewal application to you approximately one month prior to your expiration.

*Make sure to let us know if you move so we can update our records. If you do not, you may not receive the reminder notice to renew.

HOW

Complete the renewal application form and return it to the Bureau of Criminal Identification with your check, money order, or credit card information. (Form requires Adobe Reader. To download the FREE Adobe Reader, click here.)

Utah Department of Public Safety
Bureau of Criminal Identification
3888 West 5400 South
Salt Lake City, UT 84129

* Of course you may also turn submit application in person as well

WHAT MUST ACCOMPANY THE APPLICATION?

• The cost of renewal is $15.00. This may be paid by check, money order, or credit card. We recommend you do not send cash in the mail.

• Photograph. One recent color photograph of passport quality. *Photos may be taken at the Bureau of Criminal Identification.
  
  
• Non-resident proof of permit. If you reside in a state that recognizes the validity of the Utah CFP or has reciprocity with Utah, you must obtain a CFP or CCW from your home state and submit a copy of it with your renewal application. For a list of reciprocal states click here. Residency will be determined by your state-issued identification. If your state does not recognize the Utah permit this does not apply.

PROCESS

Once we receive a renewal application the permit will be renewed for the next five years after a background check is accomplished. A new card will be sent out to the permit holder through the mail.

BACKGROUND CHECK

Occasionally a permit holder gets involved in criminal activity which results in the revocation of his or her permit. The renewal process also includes conducting another background check. However, the renewal is automatic. There will be no break in the validity period of a permit. Even in cases where a criminal incident needs to be investigated, the permit remains valid until the investigation is complete. If corrective action is ultimately needed, the permit holder will be notified.
