Renewal Checklist
Print this and bring it with you, no matter which county you are in.
- Current CHL card
- Photo ID (driver’s license or passport)
- Second form of ID
- Renewal fee ($50 to $65 depending on county)
- Training certificate (only if expired more than 1 year)
- Confirm appointment or walk-in policy for your county
When to Renew
You can renew up to 45 days before your expiration date.
There is no grace period. If your CHL expires, you cannot carry until the renewal goes through.
Best practice: Start the process 60 days before your expiration date. This gives you time to book an appointment and handle any delays.
What If Your CHL Already Expired?
| How Long Expired | Training Needed? | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Less than 1 year | No | $50 to $65 |
| 1 to 3 years | Yes | $100 to $115 |
| More than 3 years | Yes (new application) | $100 to $150 |
If your CHL has been expired more than 1 year, you need a new training certificate before you can renew.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I renew in a different county?
No. You must renew in the county where you live. If you moved, you need to transfer your CHL to the new county first.
Can I renew online?
No. Oregon requires you to renew in person at the sheriff’s office.
Do I need new fingerprints?
It depends on the county. Some counties require new fingerprints for renewals. Others have your prints on file. Call ahead to ask.
How long does it take to get my new card?
Processing varies by county. Rural counties may take 10 to 15 days. Urban counties like Multnomah can take 30 to 45 days. Your card arrives by mail.
Can I still carry while my renewal is processing?
Yes — as long as your current CHL has not expired yet. Once it expires, you cannot carry until the new one arrives.
