Concealed Handgun Permits
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)
NOTE: Due to record numbers of concealed handgun permit renewals, the Nebraska State Patrol will be working on renewal applications in order of earliest expiration date to ensure citizens do not have an expired permit. Therefore, you may experience a longer than usual wait time to receive your renewal permit. Please be assured your renewal permit will be issued before the expiration date of your current permit. If you have not received your renewal permit two weeks before the expiration date, please feel free to contact the Nebraska State Patrol at (402) 479-4971 to check on the status.
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.
