It's apparently time for me to renew my CCW. Haven't done it in VA before, so I'm looking online for information on how to renew before it expires. Every time I think I find a link to the (supposedly revised) renewal submission forms, the link is broken or "document cannot be found".
Is my google-fu just weak? Can anyone point me to the form I need to fill out/submit for my CCW renewal, so it doesn't lapse? (Expires in February. Fairfax county  ).TIA |

It looks like the Va. state police revamped there website. I was able to find the CCW form on the state police website here. Fill it out and in the upper right, check the box for renewal.

It seems like the government websites are optimized to the "it's working fine, let's fuck with it" standard.

Is the "mail to" address the same as the "in person" address?
It seems like an asinine question, but NoVA loves "gotcha!" games with gun owners

I am not sure, I have not lived in NoVa for a long time. I'll need to let one of the current NoVa guys answer that one. The other option is to call the Circuit Court clerks office and ask them. They are the court that will process the application.
Eta: this might or might not help. Fairfax County Police ccw application process |

I might be wrong, but don’t the forms go to the Clerk of the Court? So whatever their mailing address is should be where you send it.

If you have the time, drop it off to the Civil Intake desk in Fairfax. Don’t go at the end of the week and end of the month. The website outline what you need to bring. |

For anyone else, I called today and they said that the mailing and in person addresses are the same.
I might send mine in certified mail so I have proof of when they receive it. All of this is much more complicated than it could be because of their hours and the holidays; thanks all for the help! |

If you can, I would do it in person. By mailing it in you are going to delay the process and Fairfax tends to take as much time as possible. All you have to do it keep track of the day you go and in 45 days if you don't have your permit in hand or a denial, you can go back and they will notarize the the application so that it acts as a defacto permit until you get the denial or approved permit.

IMO VA really needs to extend the period of validity for them.

For the curious, I received my renewal in the mail. Was about 3 weeks from when they received it (sent certified mail) to when I received my renewal. Mailed it in a bit before 45 days from the expiration date.
