CCW License Renewal Process
The Ohio Revised Code provides for the renewal of a CCW license up to 90 days prior to the license expiration. If the licensee fails to initiate the renewal process within this period, the CCW license will expire on the expiration date and will no longer be a valid. The renewal process is the same as the original process and you will need to provide the same documentation and payment.
Upon the successful completion of the background check, a new license will be issued with the original license number and a new date of expiration that is five years from the date of the renewal.
During the renewal process, the current license will remain valid, as long as it did not expire. Upon issuance of the renewed license, the previous license MUST BE SURRENDERED to the Sheriff’s Office.
