Hello everyone. I know I have to apply for a new CHL when moving but I wasn't sure if it was before or after I have moved and whether or not it was something like within 30 days of moving or 30 days after moving. I would do it before but I don't want to put that I am unemployed on the form I fill out.

So, does anyone know if I can wait and do it after I have moved or if I should go ahead and do it before I move. I move on Wednesday btw.

Thanks,

MrBalll

Employment is not a requirement, but I don’t know the answer to your question. I would think after you acquire a new address.

I changed mine after I moved.

I also did it online here:

Ok, thanks. Wasn't sure if it was a before or after thing so I guess I won't worry about until after I move.

Thanks for the help guys.

No later than 30 days after moving you will need to apply for a duplicate license..

Just changed mine online . . . simple process !
Not real happy about the $27. "fee" they charged me . . .
Just another example of a law abiding citizen being overcharged by the State for the "privilege" of self defence ! ! !
