What happens if your CPL expires in Washington?

  1. It can be renewed at any time with no penalty

  2. There is a grace period of 90 days for renewal

  3. You must reapply as a new applicant

  4. You are fined but can renew immediately

The correct answer is: You must reapply as a new applicant

If your CPL expires in Washington, you must reapply as a new applicant. This means you will have to go through the application and background check process again. Option A is not correct because there may be a delay in processing the renewal application, and you may not be able to carry a concealed weapon during that time. Option B is incorrect because Washington state does not have a grace period for CPL renewals. Option D is also incorrect because while there may be a fine for carrying an expired permit, you cannot renew it immediately without going through the reapplication process.
