My renewal also got approved.

>>> Super Easy Renewal (Orange Co. CCW) <<<

I received my renewal CCW card in the mail recently. I've had my CCW since 2017 and this was by far the easiest renewal yet.

Besides the typical copies of utility bills (proof of residency), driver license, and photo, all that was left was a training course. I did that on a weekend day, shooting the three guns on my permit. I went home and submitted the certificate online and by Monday morning I received a phone call that my renewal was approved and was asked to pay the fee. Two days later, my card arrived in the mail.

Goodbye Good Cause statement!

Happy Carrying!

On the character references: is there a ?form? provided by OCSD or a list of requirements, or did you simply get three people (including your spouse if appropriate) to write a brief letter saying you are a responsible and law abiding person who is also mentally stable?

On the online application you have to provide name, Phone number and address of three references and one has to be your spouse. Did not ask for a letter.

I have, character references yes, not heard anything about psych evaluation. My application is still in process.

Has anyone applied for a RENEWAL since the new SB2 requirements took effect January 1st? Is OCSD requiring the three character references and psych evaluation for renewal apps?

This is the training providers list posted on their website. It appears to be last updated in June 2023.

Thanks very much!

So what is the deal with the approved trainers now? The guy that did all of my renewals in the past is no longer qualified under the new requirements if I understand it correctly. Is there a list of trainers that are qualified? Thanks, Bob

I'm kind of in the same boat. The USCCA website is actively accepting reservations for an 8 hour virtual class with range qualification at Evans, presumably that is compliant. I will probably end up doing that.

My renewal is due in oct. I wanna add my hellcat to my permit but looks like its taking 3 months for an addendum as well as 3 months for a renewal. Doing an addendum appears to be the exact same process as a renewal with submitting all those documents again which is bizarre. Debating on now if i should just do a renewal instead 8 months early.

Unless things have changed, I don?t think you can do a renewal 8 months prior to expiration. I think you can only renew 120 days prior to expiration at the earliest.

I don't think the addendum will take 3 months at this point in time. The end of the year was a mess with parts of SB2 taking effect. I guess we will see. I added and dropped a gun about 2 weeks ago so I am in the cue. The only document I remember uploading was the training certificate for the added gun. The rest is filling out the online forms which is a little confusing the way they have it set up. You have to re-enter all firearms, calibers, and serial numbers of everything currently on your permit as well as add the new one. It's much cleaner to just do all this at the renewal.

Friend of mine:
11/10/23: Added new gun (p320) using Permitium
2/3/24: received call to pay for it.
Close to 3 months. Of course this was through the BS2 period so they must have been overwhelmed.

I sadly have to announce that FAST OC will be shutting their doors as of 2024.

I had the pleasure and privilege to have Lance Boland as my renewal instructor twice and it's a loss to the gun community to see him move on to other parts of him life and our country.

In the end, it was not SB 2 that did them in but the influx of new gun owners and their ignorance as well as attitude.

I wish Lance the best in his life's pursuits.

Really sad to hear this. I took many classes with Lance. Great guy, taught me a lot.
