Concealed Handgun Permits
***Due to record numbers of concealed handgun permit renewals, you may experience longer than usual wait times to receive your renewal permit.
The Nebraska State Patrol is currently working on renewal applications in order of earliest expiration date to ensure citizens do not have an expired permit.
If your current permit has not expired, please allow more time for processing.
If you have not received your renewal permit by your expiration date, please contact the Nebraska State Patrol at (402) 471-4545.***
Important, please note:
- You must update your information with the DMV first, then allow up to 3 days for the changes to post before requesting a CHP renewal, data change, or lost/stolen replacement.
- If you are updating information and also need to renew, please submit a renewal request only.
- Renew your CHP ($50 renewal fee plus $4.50 online renewal charge)
- Update your name or address on your CHP (no charge)
- Request a replacement for your lost or stolen CHP (no charge)
If you do not currently hold a valid Nebraska CHP, you must apply in person.
You must:
- Complete an approved handgun training and safety course*, and
- Complete Concealed Handgun Permit Application,
- Present the application and necessary documentation in person to the nearest Nebraska State Patrol Headquarters (see below).
*The Nebraska State Patrol does not recognize any online training course to satisfy the handgun training and safety course requirement.
