What is the process for renewing a Virginia CHP?

  1. Complete a renewal application before the current permit expires

  2. Automatically renewed, no action required

  3. Must reapply as a new applicant

  4. Pass a firearms competency test again

The correct answer is: Complete a renewal application before the current permit expires

Renewing a Virginia CHP requires completing a renewal application before the current permit expires. Option B is incorrect because a renewal application must still be completed in order to legally continue carrying a concealed handgun. Option C is incorrect because rather than reapplying as a new applicant, a renewal application must be used. Option D is incorrect because a competency test is typically only required when applying for a new initial permit, not for a renewal.
