Hmmm.
As suggested above, I'm pretty sure the sheriff's website stated cannot submit a renewal earlier than 45 days late last year/early this year. And I don't recall it stating processing time in now 6 weeks, which is what it reads now.
I've pasted below the timeline for my previous renewal; the renewed permit arrived 6 days after submittal. Based on previous experience, this year I waited until 30 days before expiration to submit (on 2/28/25). Looks like I should have submitted as soon as the window opened.
-Submitted renewal application on Friday, 3/24/23.
-On Monday, 3/27/23, received e-mail and text message stating my renewal would be processed, with the caveat it will not be assigned to staff if the application is incomplete.
-On Tuesday, 3/28/23, received e-mail and text message stating my renewal has been approved.
-On Wednesday, 3/29/23, received an email and text message reminding me my permit is up for renewal.
-On Thursday, 3/30/23, my renewed permit arrived in the mail.

since seeing this last post by dr. t i figured i would check the sheriffs website. they changed it so that renewals can apply at the 60 day mark. it was 45 days when i last saw. good thing too as my 60 day comes up in the first.Leave a comment:

FYI Seems that the SDSO is now taking 8 weeks to process renewals. The information I received when I put in for my renewal was 4-6 weeks in mid January and submitted all paperwork including the class. Called today, one day short of 7 weeks with no communication, and told that it is now 8 weeks. Applying at 45 days prior to the expiration of the permit will likely result in not having a permit for some time. Having had a CCW for 40+ years in the county and no trouble in my past, I am a little surprised. Currently am not licensed to carry.
I wonder why things have slowed down??Leave a comment:

I’m currently in the process of renewing my CCW and noticed that the "Upload Files" section requires a "Firearm Safety Certificate." Would this be referring to the 8-hour Renewal Training Course, or is it a separate requirement?
In the past, I recall the 8-hour Renewal Training Course was only requested after approval. Has there been a change in the process?
I’d appreciate any clarification that someone may provide. Thank you for your time.
And yes, in the past the training course was required AFTER approval. Now they want you to take the class first and before you complete your online form. I think that's a positive sign that the renewal process is mostly a formality...unless something changed in the law that I'm not aware of. But the renewal period has also been shortened from 90 days to 45 days. Meaning the sheriff does not want you to renew until the 45 day mark...so they're getting better with respect to their processing time...which is a good thing.👍 3Leave a comment:

I'm not sure if you saw my post after the one you quoted...see post Smith 610
I have received my renewed permit at this point. And for this renewal (my fourth renewal...and I hate this nonsense), the sheriff finally synced things up with the my current expiration date. My current permit expires on 12/3/24 and my new permit starts on 12/3/24 and goes to 12/3/26. Thus, I will not be losing any time this go-round...and my renewed permit isn't currently active yet, even though I have it.
Hopefully this is not just some weird fluke and they are doing this across the board so we stop losing time that we paid for. But assuming it is, I still question why they couldn't do this from the start. I want my damn time back!Leave a comment:

The way it was explained to me is that it technically isn't a "renewal" it's more of an "expedited issuance". The "expedited" being the fact that you have previously submitted the paperwork and gone through the vetting process. So, the new card's expiration date is based off when they issue your new permit - not the date of the old permit. I've renewed a couple times now and have ended up shaving off a almost a full month of time. I guess the trick is to get the renewal class out of the way and submit the new permit request as close to your expiration date as possible.

For folks that have renewed recently, what are you seeing with regards to you previous expiration date?
Is the sheriff renewing your permit in accordance with your current expiration date?...So if your current permit expired on, say, Oct 31st, did your renewed permit begin on Nov 1st...so you didn't lose any of the time that you paid for...or did they simply renew your permit on whatever day they issued it and mailed it out to you?
I'm on my fourth renewal and all the previous times I ended up losing a week or two because the Sheriff did NOT renew the permit in accordance with the pervious permit's expiration date.
However, for this go round, I've currently been approved for renewal but I have not received the actual permit yet (I assume it's in the mail)...but CCW Pro is showing they renewed me in accordance with my current expiration date this time.
And if this is true, it's great that they're finally getting their act together so that people don't lose time that they paid for. But it's still infuriating that we lost time at all. Seems like there would be a decent case for a class action lawsuit. Because if they can get it right now, why couldn't they get it right before? I want ALL the damn time that I legally paid for! *insert old man yelling at clouds emoji here*Leave a comment:

Hi all,
Question, I completed my 8 HR course for renewal (my first renewal), completed my application back in early November in PRO and it says "Ready to Issue". Do i need to pick it up the new Permit or is it being mailed to me? I can't find any information.
Thank you in advance.
You may want to call the clerks and ask them what "Ready To Issue" means.Leave a comment:

So I got my renewal permit in the mail today and they did, in fact, align my renewal to my current expiration date. My current permit is set to expire on 12/3/24, and my renewed permit will become active on 12/3/24...so there will be no loss of time like in previous years.
It's good that they've made progress on this issue an folks will no longer be losing time that they paid for. But it begs the question, why couldn't they have done this for the past 8 years?Leave a comment:

I lost a month. They have us so wound up to get it done early so we don't end up with a gap, that it works against us. It's not a two year permit.Leave a comment:
