What should you do if your Washington Concealed Pistol License (CPL) is lost or stolen?

  1. Notify the police within 30 days

  2. Apply for a new one immediately without notification

  3. Nothing, as it's the issuing authority's responsibility

  4. Notify the issuing authority in writing as soon as possible

The correct answer is: Notify the issuing authority in writing as soon as possible

If your Washington Concealed Pistol License (CPL) is lost or stolen, the correct action to take is to notify the issuing authority in writing as soon as possible. This is important because it allows the issuing authority to record the license as lost or stolen and can prevent misuse of the license by unauthorized individuals. It is not advisable to apply for a new license immediately without notification as that could lead to potential issues with having multiple active licenses. Additionally, notifying the police within 30 days of losing your CPL may not be the most effective or direct course of action, as the issuing authority is better equipped to handle the situation.
