Renewing my CHL

[KHickam]

My CHL will expire in a few months 8/2016 - and I want to find out what I need to do to renew it - I see the application process is pretty straightforward as far as application - question is do I need to go back to class for my renewal or what - need to get this in the works because in May I am going to Montana until October (working hunting/service dogs at summer camp) and want to get it done before I leave if I can

Thanks

Renewal classes ended in 2013. All you have to do is apply online for a renewal when you get a letter from DPS. This will be mailed about six months before your CHL expires.

DPS will send you a renewal reminder in February (6 months prior to expiration). Follow the instructions to go online and renew. No class required. Your renewal will expire 5 years from August, not 5 years from the early renewal date.

As soon as you receive the renewal notice, If you go online and do it, you should have no problem getting it before you leave in May.
