What happens if your Virginia CHP is lost or destroyed?

The permit is no longer valid
You must reapply for a new permit
You must notify the issuing circuit court and request a replacement
Nothing, as your permit number is recorded with the state

The correct answer is: You must notify the issuing circuit court and request a replacement

If your Virginia CHP is lost or destroyed, the best course of action is to notify the issuing circuit court and request a replacement. This is because although your permit number is recorded with the state, you are still required to have the physical permit with you whenever you carry a concealed weapon. While option A and D may seem like possible answers, they are not entirely accurate. The permit itself is not no longer valid, but it does become invalid if you are unable to produce it when requested. Additionally, option B may seem like a possible option as you do need to reapply for a new permit, but simply reapplying is not enough. You must specifically request a replacement from the issuing circuit court.
