Arizona CCW Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions about Arizona CCW permits, renewals, replacements, reciprocity, and more.
What should I do if my Arizona CCW Permit is lost or stolen?
If your Arizona CCW permit is lost or stolen, you should request a replacement permit from AZDPS as soon as possible. You may apply online, by mail, or in person. Once a replacement permit is issued, your original permit number will no longer be valid.
Does a replacement Arizona CCW Permit extend my expiration date?
No. A replacement permit only replaces your physical permit card. Your original expiration date remains the same and does not change when a replacement card is issued.
Does my permit number remain the same?
No. Your old permit number is no longer valid. You will be issued a new permit number on your replacement Arizona CCW permit card. Your original expiration date will remain unchanged.
Can I get a replacement card and keep my original when I find it?
No. AZDPS only issues one valid Arizona CCW permit card at a time. If a replacement permit is issued, the original permit card and permit number are no longer valid. If you later find your original permit card, you should use your new permit card and destroy the old one.
How long does it take to receive a replacement Arizona CCW permit?
Once approved, replacement permits are typically mailed by AZDPS and often arrive within a few weeks. Processing times may vary depending on application volume and submission method.
How much does it cost to replace an Arizona CCW permit?
The fee is $10, plus credit card processing and service fees if submitted online. If you are paying with a cashier’s check or money order, there may be a small vendor fee.
Can I replace a damaged Arizona CCW permit?
Yes. If your Arizona CCW permit is damaged, faded, broken, or otherwise unreadable, you may request a replacement permit card through AZDPS.

Arizona Department of Public Safety renewal fees are subject to change. The current online application renewal fee is $49.88 (credit card processing and service fees are included). You may pay with a credit or debit card.
If you mail the renewal application, you must obtain a cashier’s check or money order made payable to “AZ DPS” for $43.00. Don’t forget to include your name and address if applicable. This way your payment matches your application if they become separated during processing.
Do I need fingerprints for Arizona CCW renewal?
No. New fingerprints are not required for an Arizona CCW permit renewal.
However, if your permit has been expired for more than 60 days, you are no longer eligible to renew and must submit a new Arizona CCW permit application. You must also pay the applicable AZDPS processing fee and submit new fingerprints to undergo another FBI background check. If you need assistance, visit our Resources page. Concierge Application Services are available for a fee.
How long does Arizona CCW renewal take?
Processing times vary depending on application volume and submission method. AZDPS advises applicants to allow up to 75 days for processing. Online submissions are generally processed faster than mailed applications.
Is there a grace period after my Arizona CCW permit expires?
Yes. Arizona provides a 60-day grace period following your permit expiration date. If your permit has expired, you should renew as soon as possible to avoid interruptions.
If you are 61-days past the expiration date listed on your permit, you are no longer eligible to renew and must reapply as a new applicant. For additional information about expired permits and available options, visit our Renewal Resources page.
