Looks like this is easy. Did it all from my phone about 2 weeks ago. Showed it would use existing prints and photos. Anyone had any issues? Is the time about 4-6 weeks? I did it end of December after Christmas. Had a license since 96 this was a piece of cake.

Be sure to keep track of when your CHL expires. Don't rely on the state to send you a renewal notice. I learned this the hard way. I never received a notice, and was unaware of my expired CHL until a co-worker mentioned getting his renewal notice.

So far I've received every renewal letter they've sent me. I usually throw them away because in the back of my mind I already know it's due. Usually I had already signed up for my renewal class around the time I received the letter. This year I procrastinated until the last 90 days after hearing I didn't have to go to a class. I bet the instructors aren't too happy. The easy students were probably the renewals and I think I was paying $75 with photos and prints, for a test and some range time.

Looks like mine is processed. I now have options to change my address, contact info and or report as lost/stolen on the right side of the status page as of yesterday. Just letting everyone know that may be wondering also. I did the online renewal a couple of days after Christmas 12-27, it said they would use current fingerprints and photo. Looks like about 54+ days.
