You wont find this part of the process very painful. I have had about five of these changes since my first license

I suppose this would be the information I was looking for. I really just wanted to be lazy and have someone tell me how to do it instead of having to go find it

Yeah, sometimes you just have to go find this stuff out for yourself.

But, just so you know, you need your PIN number to change your address online. Hope you saved it! Otherwise, you will have to call them and ask for the form.

I had to do this about five years ago and it was no problem at all.

I guess it would be way to simple to be able to change your CHL addy like you can your DL online. Or maybe have it where both are done at once?
I mean for $25.00 they should be able to afford the software. :)

Did anyone bother to look at the link I provided?

Text from the page of that link;

Welcome to the Concealed Handgun Licensing & Instructor Certification Site.

You can apply for a new license or instructor certificate, renew a license or instructor certification, resume a previous uncompleted application session, check the status of a completed application or change your address.

I had a lady student who recently got divorced and went back to her maiden name. She came out to range office needing a new passport photo holder (but new photo not required). And don't forget it must be completed in black felt tip pen only.
