This is what was in their email after the migration:

"Active Licensees will be required to Sign up and create a profile.

• The CCW Unit will then match the data. Nothing more will be required from you.
• When the time comes to renew or if you need to amend your license, you may then log back into the account to trigger either transaction."

Thank you. So, is it beneficial to create the CCW Pro account a few months before the renewal is submitted? I will take any advice or experience on this if you or anyone has it?

Yes. Some people will get an email after that says "we need you to upload X" so that your file is complete.

I had ssome serious medical issues and don't know if it is woth it for me to renew my CCW. Assuming the renewal goes through without a hitch, what is it going to cost? Please break costs down. Last I heard a psych exam, if requested, is expensive. I idon't know if they reqest them for renewals.

Apologies. I was concerned about the outrageous psych eveluation fees that are authorized, but tthose only seem to apply to initial applcants; not to renewals unless there is a strong reason for requesting one. The other fees are nothing.

yeah no psych needed for renewal. Just need to do the training, which is longer now.

Same here. Took just shy of 180 days for them to process the renewal application, and then it is difficult to get them on the phone.

[...]

Looking ahead, I was wondering, with the new system is OCSD still recommending renewal applications be filed 120 days before expiry? After some searching and checking it looks like they are now recommending renewal applications be filed 140 days prior to expiry.

You can verify it for yourself if you like... log into their CCW Pro portal, and "view application." In the upper right corner it should display "You can begin your renewal in X days."

Do the math, it will be 140 days prior to expiry. PSA...

Does anyone have an updated turnaround time after a renewal has been submitted?

I did it about 6 months ago, I think it took 2 months ish? The amendment to add a gun took me 2 and half months.

I just submitted my app on CCW Pro. I think all is complete, except for getting the training certificate. I plan on holding off on that OCSD approves the application. Am I correct in that renewals don't require a live scan or psych exam? As my CCW expires late next month, I imagine I won't have a valid permit for a few weeks. Yes?

Can anyone recommend a less expensive place in the south county to get a training certificate? Thanks.

I don't shop around so no idea what the market price is. Artemis just raised their price for renewal to $210.

Chewy65 you're a retired attorney, no? One of the owners at Artemis (who does part of the renewal class) is an attorney. I don't know you so whether that would create a good synergy or, uh... destructive interference (physics sense), I couldn't tell you. They used to do the live fire portion at Prado Tiro but it looks like they are now using their indoor range. So both parts of the class would be at their facility down in Lake Forest.

Come to Central or North County.

I met him a few years back. A good guy and I like their operation, so I may use them. I don't see how they can do live fire at their Lake Forest operation, unless they made some major changes. They did. Per Angela they now have an indoor range.

I did my renewal there this year as FAST OC is no longer…

They basically converted a shipping container into a 2 lane range. Does what it needs to do for CCW qualification.
