Home MenuMODIFYING YOUR CCW
You can modify twice!
What is a modification?
Changing your name, address or adding/removing a firearm from your CCW.
- CCW modifications will be restricted to TWO firearm modifications per CCW term. For example, a Standard 2-year CCW license may be modified to add/remove firearms no more than twice during that 2-year term.
- After two firearm modifications, CCW holders should wait until it is time to renew their CCW before requesting additional changes. Exceptions may be made for exigent circumstances.
- Please note: it is not necessary to apply for a CCW modification if you are only updating your employment information. This can wait until you renew your CCW.
- Applications based on change of address do not count towards this limit. The Sheriff's Office shall amend any license to reflect a licensee's change in residence address.
- Payment is not required until we're ready to mail out your CCW. You will receive an email asking you to log in at that time and make your payment in CCW Pro.
- You cannot modify your CCW if it is within 90 days of expiring. This is the renewal window.
- Processing time can take approximately 6-8 weeks.
