As of today, 1/12/24, Clark County (Washington) Sheriff's Department is NOT processing Concealed Pistol License applications or renewals for NON-WASHINGTON residents. (The Sheriff's department IS processing renewals for WA residents).
For non-WA residents the Clark County Sheriff's department is sending people to the Vancouver Police Department, West Precinct, to complete their CPL application/renewal. This precinct is located at 2800 NE Stapleton Rd., Vancouver, WA 98661.
The young guy at the Sheriff's dept. counter said he didn't know if this was a permanent thing, or if it might change again in the future.
I've had a WA CPL for along time. I just got a renewal reminder notice in the mail. It did NOT provide any info about non-WA residents having to go through a different agency than we have in the past. So I drove over to the Sheriff's office in downtown Vancouver this morning. Got directed to the west precinct police department.
The renewal process at the police dept. was quick and simple: they made copies of my license and CPL, had me complete a renewal form, charged me $32 renewal fee (that's for a 5-year license).
Background check and renewal license processing time at this point is about 60 days.
So, if you are an OR resident who would normally renew their WA CPL at the Clark County Sheriff's department, take note.
I do NOT know if this change (Sheriff's depts. off-loading out of state CPL renewals on local police depts.) is happening elsewhere in WA, or if this is just for Vancouver.
Cheers.
