- A summary of CPL renewal information.
The Michigan State Police (MSP) Concealed Pistol License (CPL)
Unit accepts CPL renewal applications by mail and through the online
system. Those eligible to submit their CPL renewal application
online will receive a renewal notice through the U.S. Mail from the
county clerk that issued their CPL containing a PIN. Once in receipt of
the PIN, CPL applicants may proceed to www.michigan.gov/cplrenewal
to submit their renewal application. CPL holders who receive
renewal notices not containing a PIN are not eligible to renew
online. However, you may submit a completed CPL renewal
application, with payment, to the MSP CPL Unit, P.O. Box 30634,
Lansing, MI 48909 or renew in person at their county clerk's office.
- Concealed Pistol License Renewal Information
An
application to renew a CPL may be submitted not more than six months
before, nor one year after, the expiration of the current CPL.
A CPL is valid until the applicant's date of birth that falls not less
than four years or more than five years after the license is issued or
renewed.
CPL holders will be notified that their license is approaching
expiration by their county clerk between three to six months prior to
the expiration of their current license. A CPL may be renewed at the
appropriate county clerk's office with a $115 payment to the county
clerk.
Upon payment of renewal fees, the applicant will be issued a receipt.
If an individual applies for a renewal license prior to the expiration
of his or her license, the expiration date of the current license is
extended until the renewal license or notice of statutory
disqualification is issued. A person carrying a concealed pistol after
the expiration of his or her license pursuant to such an extension
shall keep the receipt issued by the county clerk and his or her
expired license in his or her possession at all times he or she is
carrying the pistol. The receipt, when carried with the expired
license, shall serve as a valid CPL until the new license or notice of
statutory disqualification is received. If an individual applies for a
renewal license after the expiration of his or her license, the
individual is not permitted to carry a pistol concealed until such time
as the renewal license is issued.
Possession of this receipt and expired CPL does not exempt the holder
from the requirement to obtain a license to purchase a pistol or exempt
a firearms dealer from running a background check prior to the sale of
a pistol.
An application is considered a renewal if the applicant has previously
received a CPL in compliance with the training requirements set forth
in Michigan law effective July 1, 2001, and the previous license has
not been expired more than one year.
An applicant applying for a renewal is not required to have
fingerprints taken again if the applicant's fingerprints have been
submitted to and are maintained by the MSP Fingerprints have been
maintained by the MSP since January 1, 2006.
The applicant shall sign the statement on the application certifying
that he or she has completed at least three hours of review of the
required training and has had at least one hour of firing range time in
the six months immediately preceding the renewal application.
An individual licensed to carry a concealed pistol may carry a
concealed pistol under the authority of his or her CPL until the CPL
expires or the individual's authority to carry a concealed pistol is
otherwise suspended or revoked, whichever comes first.
