I need to change my street address on my VA permit. The last couple gun shows wouldn't take it as ID since it still has my old address.
How do I go about doing this?
How do I go about doing this?
This is a round-about way to deal with this, but...in the letter that came with my permit in Stafford, in bold print it says; "There is no provision in the code for re-issung a Permit when you have a change of address".
However, later in the latter a "lost or destroyed" will be replaced for a $10 fee. It seems that if you report your change of address to the proper authorities and, after a reasonable period of time, report the permit destroyed, it follows that the new re-issued permit should have your new address.
Fairfax is a different animal than the rest of the state though. Good luck
Problem with all this is, NO ONE will issue me a new permit reflecting the new address until my current one expires. They will just update "their" records to show the new address.
Does this sound like a potential setup to anyone else? I can just imagine it now, getting pulled over or something by the cops, "yes officer, I have a CHP, just don't compare the address on my license to the permit"
Get a testee copy (with the official embossed stamp and all the other bells & whistles) of your affidavit of change of address and carry it with your CHP.
The address on my Resident Concealed Handgun Permit is no longer correct. Is my permit still valid?
Yes. Virginia Code Section 18.2-308, which governs the issuance of resident concealed handgun permits, makes no provisions for changes of address. A permit once issued remains valid until the expiration date is met, or upon suspension or revocation, regardless of the change of address.

Man. I'm glad to read that. I just moved about a mile through the woods, five miles by the road. One less thing I have to worry about.
