Frequently Asked Questions

​Why should I get a permit if it's no longer required?

Missouri has passed into law a permit-less concealed carry system. This authorizes anyone who is not a convicted felon to carry a firearm concealed or open carry with no training. Of course there are restrictions to this permit system. Anyone carrying in this status must be aware of where they cannot carry a weapon. Unlike the CCW permit where you will not be given a warning, someone without a permit can be charged / arrested and have his / her weapon seized. The permit-less system is only authorized within the state of Missouri but a CCW permit will allow you to carry into 35 additional states. It's best to "Know the Law - Before you Draw" when carrying a concealed weapon. 

Where do I go to get my CCW renewed?​

As long as all of your information is current on your CCW Endorsement, you can file the renewal at your local Sheriff's Department.​

If your information is not current, you need to contact the agency that issued the certificate.​

When can I start the renewal process?​

Sixty days prior to the expiration date.

What is the cost of the renewal?​

$40.00 Cash, Credit, or Debit. (Check with your Sheriff's Department). ​

There is a $10.00 late fee per month after the expiration of the CCW Endorsement.​

What do I need to bring with me to file my renewal?​

Your Driver's License or Non-Driver ID.

Is training required to carry  a concealed firearm?

No. But you should: Know the Law-Before you draw.  Proper training will ensure you do the right thing if a self defense situation arises.

If you file a renewal application after the expiration date of your  endorsement, the sheriff or sheriff’s designee may assess an additional late fee of ten dollars per month for each month the concealed carry endorsement is expired for up to six months. After six months, you will be required to reapply for a new concealed carry certificate and pay new applicant fees.​

If you have any questions regarding the concealed carry certificate renewal application or to set up an appointment, please contact the sheriff or sheriff’s designee in your county of residence.
​

If you wish to renew your concealed carry certificate and update your endorsement, you must submit a renewal application and the required renewal fee to the sheriff in your county of residence. Upon your successful completion of all renewal requirements, the sheriff or sheriff's designee shall issue a certificate of qualification that must specify the issue date of the renewal and the control number.
