WHEN DO I NEED TO RENEW MY PERMIT?

Your permit is good for 5 years. You may start the renewal 90 days prior to the expiration date listed on your card. You may submit your renewal online with AZDPS and pay the fee of $49.88. Then just give AZDPS 75 days to process your renewal application. You do not need to take another course and do not need to submit new fingerprints. But all renewal applicants must undergo another FBI background check. If you submit your renewal beyond 91 days, AZDPS will kick your application back and keep the renewal fee paid. You will then need to resubmit and pay the renewal fee again. So make sure you are exactly within the 90 days window.

If you need help, we can assist you with completing the AZ CCW Permit Renewal process directly with AZDPS minimizing any delays in receiving your new permit (approval within 1-2 weeks, versus 75 days), and gaps walking around with an expired AZ CCW Permit. We are are a trusted and reputable Arizona firearms training company, with over 700+ 5 Star Google Reviews.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience with this online CCW course. Overall, the material was very informative, direct, and straightforward. As long as you pay attention, it's very manageable to complete.
What really sets this program apart is the customer support. The entire team is great, but a special shoutout goes to Lea specifically. She was incredible every step of the way. I wasn’t approved on my first attempt, but when it came time to apply a second time, Lea was right there encouraging me to stick with it. She helped me navigate through the entire process, explained every detail clearly, and reassured me at every single step until I finally obtained my permit.
If you're looking for a smooth, well-guided CCW process with a team that actually stands by you, I can't recommend this course enough! Lea, you’re amazing! Thank you kindly!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with Bret and Lea AZ CCW Online or Riverside CCW Online it was wonderful. It was such a pleasure to shoot at an indoor range in Arizona. It was great to work with Bret and Lea is terrific. If you use their concierge service, she does everything for you and it’s wonderful and she does it very professionally the fingerprints required by Riverside are the old ink type and she does a fantastic job with those. It takes close to 70 days for those prints to be approved with California DOJ and the FBI it would be nice if they would use the new system but for out-of-state they still haven’t allowed that anyway I would highly recommend their services. I would highly recommend them. I look forward to renewing my permit in a year and a half and I will definitely use their services again thank you.
