2.  A license to carry a concealed pistol issued on or after July 1, 2003, but before July 1, 2006, is valid for 5 years. A license to carry a concealed pistol issued or renewed on or after July 1, 2006, is valid until the applicant’s date of birth that falls not less than 4 years or more than 5 years after the license is effective.
3.  The effective date is the date the previous license expires or the date of approval of the renewal, whichever is later.
4.  An application is considered a renewal if the applicant has received a concealed pistol license under compliance of the training requirements set forth in the Act after July 1, 2001.
5.  A CPL license is renewed in the same manner as the original license (see CPL CCW Application Information).  The cost for a renewal license is $105.
