Renewals

Renewal applications may be filed by mail. Renewals require completed SP-248, photocopy of current permit, and photocopy of picture ID.

Replacement

For a replacement permit due to a new address or loss of current permit, complete the SP-248a Change of Address form and submit it to our office with $10 payment via cash, money order or personal check addressed to the “Clerk of Court”, and proof of new address, if applicable.

As of January 1, 2021, the Virginia Code requires that competence with a handgun training be received in person.  Online or virtual training no longer meets the statute’s requirement for a permit.

For more information pertaining to the laws regarding concealed handgun permits such as reciprocity or non-resident applications see: Virginia State Police.

Free trigger and cable locks are available in the Clerk’s office to any person whether applying for a concealed handgun permit or not.  Please just ask at the Clerk’s office counter for your free lock.  Gun locks have been shown to reduce the use of guns for suicide.  For more information see Lock & Talk Virginia or End Family Fire.
