Update: Just got an automated call and email telling me that my application has been approved. Email says:
Congratulations! Your application to renew your Concealed-Carry Weapon license has been approved.
Please allow one to two weeks for your card to arrive by mail. If you have not received your card in three weeks, please contact us at CCWinfo@sbcsd.org or (909)473-3893.
WOOHOO!
San Bernardino CCW is 2yrs.Off hand question here guys. I have a friend who is looking to get his CCW and lives in Apple Valley. The slight differences in pricing and wording from RivCo CCW has me a little confused.
Are your CCWs good for 1 or 2 years?
What has been your total price out the door from start to finish? I see there is a $112 Range Fee, but I am unsure of what that entails, whether it means class or quals. If done with a 3rd party vendor, do you still have to pay that fee?
Any advice would be appreciated. My friend is not computer savvy and I am just trying to help!
Anyone do a renewal recently?
Got my class/range card submitted in 1/5/25 and the app is still pending a processor. Not in a rush since my card expires in May but was just curious as to what the time frame is currently.
Thanks
Thanks for the info. Much appreciated!My brother renewed his recently. Submitted his class/range card on Oct 26 and got his CCW in the mail on Jan 17. So looks like around 3 months or so.
Oh yeah I have no doubt they are processing them as fast as possible. I think you are right about them doing them in batches.They seem to be doing renewals in batches, have been playing catchup, or prioritize those that are expiring soonest. Maybe a combination of all 3. I submitted the last of my paperwork with range day last week of December way to close to my expiration. I had a call within 2 weeks that there was an issue with a new firearm I added during the renewal. Got that resolved which took almost 2 more weeks. I called following the resolution only to find my processor had already seen the update and approved it. These guys are seriously on it, I was very impressed. Less than 5 weeks from submission to receiving renewal card in hand and that included 2 weeks of adding time resolving an issue that wasn't their fault. I had a buddy that submitted renewal almost a month before myself and he got his card on the exact same day I did and he didn't have that delay in processing. Overall, very happy with my renewal process.
Anyone running a pistol where you changed the configuration (I am talking about a p365, adding a XL slide to it) and using it on your CCW? The reason I ask is about 12 years ago or so I sold the .357sig barrel on my SigPro and installed a .40 barrel, and the sheriff's department made me remove it from my CCW because it was no longer in the factory configuration.
My renewal took 51 days (calendar days) from submission to renewal approval. That included 12 days from range submission to printing/mailing.Man only got a week before my permit expires and it is still pending being assigned to a processor...
Get your renewals in as soon as possible as even 4 months isn't enough to beat the backlog...
I just called and they said I cannot change barrel and slide length.In my case, my XD9 was stock when I got my CCW, but at renewal, I had swapped out the stock slide for an OSP slide to mount a red dot. No issues.
Maybe it's because you changed calibers?
