How Do I Renew my CCL?

The Illinois State Police (ISP) processes CCL renewals routinely; the CCL program began in 2013 and licenses are valid for 5 years.

However, if you are thinking of renewing your license, a renewal costs $150 ($300 for out-of-state residents) and it will require a 3 hour refresher training course.

You can renew your CCL online or by phone through the Illinois State Police Firearms Services Bureau.
