HSC copy question

[detcord]

lost my wallet along with my hsc, wondering if its possible to get a new copy of it? or should I just go take the test again as its only $25

[waitwha?]

go to the place you originally took the test at. They can get you a new copy for a nominal fee.

you can get a replacement, you have to go to the store you took the test and its like $10 or so.

as mentioned above, you can get a replacement from the instructor who originally issued it. It runs $15, and you keep the same expiration date. So, if you are 2 or more years into your current HSC expiration, it would be cheaper in the long run to just retake the test.

If I lose my Handgun Safety Certificate (HSC) can I get a replacement?
Yes. A replacement Handgun Safety Certificate (HSC) is available only through the DOJ Certified Instructor who issued your HSC. The HSC replacement cost is $15. The replacement HSC will reflect the same expiration date as your original HSC.

I think you could just go back to the FFL you took the exam and pay 10-15 bucks for a copy.

Call the DOJ. They sent me a copy two years ago. I think don't remember paying them at all.

interesting.

How would DOJ have a copy of your HSC to be able to provide you with a copy? Does the instructor send copies of his paperwork to DOJ?

12808. (a) In the case of loss or destruction of a handgun safety certificate, the issuing instructor shall issue a duplicate certificate upon request and proof of identification to the certificate holder.
(b) The department may authorize the issuing instructor to charge a fee not to exceed fifteen dollars ($15), for a duplicate certificate. Revenues from this fee shall be deposited in the Firearms Safety and Enforcement Special Fund, created pursuant to Section 12076.5.

I agree, I do not send them anything other than annually report the number of certificates issued. How could they possibly send you a duplicate?

Instructors are required to keep records, that is why the above posts refer you to your original issuer.

Frankly, unless it is just as convenient, I would retake the test and get a new expiration date.

I didn't think that was the case. I'd guess that FatonCoke was mistaken.
