What must a person do if they change their address after obtaining a CPL in Washington State?

When a person changes their address after obtaining a Concealed Pistol License (CPL) in Washington State, the most important requirement is to notify their local law enforcement agency within 30 days of the change. This is essential for maintaining accurate records and ensuring that any correspondence regarding the CPL, as well as ongoing background checks, are sent to the correct address.

This requirement is designed to ensure that the local authorities are aware of the license holder's current residence, which is critical for the enforcement of firearm laws and for ensuring public safety. Proper notification helps to avoid any potential legal issues that may arise from having outdated information associated with a person’s CPL.

In contrast, options suggesting no action should be taken or that other agencies need to be notified do not align with the legal obligations set forth by Washington State law regarding the management of CPLs.
