When you renew in GA, do you have to be finger printed again? When I renewed this past summer (Cobb Co.), it was basically a re-application. Same fees, fingerprints, etc. The only difference was this time they took my picture for a slightly more official-looking ID card and the fingerprinting was electronic instead of paper and ink. If your current CWL is close to expiring, you can get an extension (90 days?) for a buck. You are obligated to carry around the extension with your expired license (it's an 8.5x11" sheet of paper). ETA: It takes the same amount of time for a renewal as a new application as well. Luckily, Cobb has shortened wait times dramatically in the last 5 years. The first time I applied and my first renewal took over or around 120 days! My last renewal was done in just under 30. |
| Houston county was claiming they had to go to appointments and were restricting them to 40 a day. Not sure if fast the appointments were filling up but one person I know was told either take off work early to come in the next day or they would have to wait a week for a late afternoon appointment. |

Our population is roughly 32K. |
| I applied for my renewal in Cobb County on 12/31. I arrived at 8:15am, filled out the paperwork, took picture, walked downstairs to get fingerprinted and found out there was a 5 hour wait. I was told they had about 100 applications every day during the holidays and well over 1000 for December. I went back at 7:30am on 1/7 and was first in line for fingerprinting. |

Along with a C&R and whatever NFA stuff I can start on

Still need to get my own GWCL. |

Slightly off subject, but how far in advance of your expiration date can you renew? I was thinking it was 30 or 90 days, but wasn't sure if it changed with the new license (I have the old photocopy/laminate POS). I've heard 5-6 months but I would call your probate court to confirm. I'm sure each one is slightly different. |

It expired in June and I was home on R&R in March, so I went down and did the paperwork. Mine came back 2 days after I flew back here. So 90 days seems to be GTG. |

Just remember, a new license is valid for five years from the date of issue, they don't add on unexpired time on your previous license, so I usually just renew the month mine expires and spend the $1 for the temporary extension until the new one comes in. |

Understood, but I'd prefer the lost time/$ over the hassle of worrying about the extension. |
