Multnomah County CHP Renewal Question

cbenware · Mar 30, 2021

Lucky me my Multnomah County CHP is up for renewal during COVID. It expires 4/10 and the website says they're taking a month to process renewals. I mailed the paperwork and fee back in mid-February and my check was cashed 3/4 but I haven't received my new card in the mail. I figured I'd receive it shortly after the check was cashed and now I'm getting a little concerned because it expires in a week. Been really difficult getting someone on the phone there. Anyone else deal with this recently and what was your experince like? Should I just hang tight? Not really sire I have any other options.

Just chill out. Per Yamhill County cause mine is now past due...

Important note: YOUR CURRENT CHL CONTINUES TO BE VALID FOR UP TO 45 DAYS AFTER YOU APPLY FOR RENEWAL AS LONG AS YOU APPLIED PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF YOUR CURRENT CHL. YOU MUST CARRY YOUR CURRENT CHL AND THIS PROOF OF APPLICATION RENEWAL UNTIL YOUR NEW CHL CARD HAS BEEN PROVIDED.

I just called on mine yesterday. They received my renewal Jan 22, and told me to expect my new one by may 1st.
I'm not expired until September, but definitely wanted to be ahead of any processing delays.

I went through this in December. Cashed the check quick but no new card. Left a message and someone called me right back and let me know they were behind and to stop by the office for a temporary paper permit.

I reupped mine just before the election. Had my new card in the mail in under 10 business days.

There is another thread on the topic of CHL wait times that you might find useful. Multnomah County is taking 2-3 months to process renewals based on some of the most recent posts.

CHL WAIT TIMES OREGON: Please state your county, how long it took for your Concealed Handgun License

Lane county (Eugene) appointment system in place here now. Called in June 2, was given an appointment date of July 26, went in had my fingerprints done, photo taken and paid 65$, received my CHL on Sept 14

Yup. This. Was in the same boat last year, Lane County. Maybe keep your proof of mailing, payment and application. And you're in Multnomah Co? Steer around tent cities and piles of trash. You'll be fine.
