As of January 7, 2016, there is no longer a waiting period for Concealed Handgun Permit renewals. Renewals can be completed on the spot at the Weld County Sheriff's Office Administration Building, 1950 O St. in Greeley.
However, if the renewal applicant has undergone a name change since first acquiring a CHP, such as by marriage, divorce or preference, state law requires a copy of the court documents or marriage certificate be included with the paperwork to verify the applicant's identity. State law also requires a fresh set of fingerprints be included for renewal applicants who have undergone a name change.
