Yes, you may take the class now or in October and do not have to wait. You can apply whenever ISP decides to activate the "renew" button on your ISP dashboard. One article from Guns Saves Lives suggested it would be available 5 months before your renewal is up, but that is not confirmed according to the article. Molly may know more about when they will be available for renewal but it seems like ISP keeps saying they are working on it and that is all we are getting from them.

 

Also, they will not forward your CCL to an AZ address if you are forwarding your mail.

[Molly B.]

But they have mailed licenses to winter homes, just not forward-able.

I guess my question is, what is the incentive to apply to renew earlier than necessary? Are they going to set the renewed date to a 5 year extension of the original expiration date like a drivers license, or 5 years from the renewal application date (whenever it's processed)? In the later, naturally you will loose some of the time you paid for, if your expiration date moves earlier?

 

Naturally, it's probably safer to do it a little early, say a month or so, but how is the next expiration date going to be calculated, so we get our full 5 years out of these fees?

If you can still carry on old license as long as you have applied for the new one , what difference does it make?

i would be concerned about out of state travel and those cops thinking it has expired

[Illini_Guns]

I should just move to Indiana my son got his for life and paid I think 100.00

Guess it depends on how it gets reported...active/inactive? is an expire date provided? renewal pending? I think a 3rd party is used to provide info out of state (Nlets)

What is meant by this dashboard? I went to the ISP’s website last night and saw there is an area to apply for a CCW but no option for a renewal process. Five years ago, we had to create an IL digital ID along with a username and password. When I chose the option to apply for a CCW, I noticed that the digital ID thing was no longer a requirement; just username and password. Since I still knew what credentials I chose 5 yrs ago, I tried those but got an error saying it was invalid. I tried doing a password reset, but it gave another error basically saying that my account can’t be found. Do we have to create a new account again for renewal?

Old Java based digital signature system and requirement was retired. Need to create a new account. When you are able to renew your "renew" button should show active i.e. not grayed out.

Ah, ok. Now I understand. Thank you very much for the clarification.

Quick question. When does the window open to apply for the renewal? I just took my 3 hr refresher training last weekend and my CCL expires next May, so what window am I looking at to be able to apply? December? January? Thanks.

I took the renewal class this past Monday, and the instructor said we would receive a letter.

[tchostler]

question, is there a specific number/code that goes on your certificate for renewal, and what would that number be? just want to make sure the trainer puts down the correct number, thanks.

His instructor number and course curriculum number.

what is the curriculum number for the 3 hr. renewal?

[stitch58]

Just what "InterestedBystander" said, you have to create a new account. Once you enter your Drivers License and FOID number it will recognize your info. All mine was there including FOID,FCCL and fingerprint info.

[John Q Public]

Any word yet, on getting the State Police cert in line with the law, on what we have to teach? Molly? Anyone?

[cyclist]

So if I gave them electronic fingerprints on the initial application 5 years ago, then I won’t need to resubmit them on the renewal. It would make sense to me, but I ask the question as the State rarely makes sense.

Correct, fingerprints are not required for renewal.

I have been asked a question to which I cannot find an answer. Two students who completed the 16 hour course a year ago, but did not apply for their CCLs due to an upcoming home purchase/move, have asked if their certificates are valid from 2017. Since the ISP has stated they are no longer accepting the old certificates (and I cannot get through via telephone to the ISP), has anyone received official answer to this dilemma? Common sense would dictate certs valid at time of training should be valid for application...but we are dealing with Illinois, where bureaucratic commen sense does not exist.

[Saturdaynightspecial]

On dashboard what does 'renew' look like if it's time to renew ?

[automatic]

I just checked mine it expires 3/18/19 will they send notice for it to be renewed or do I have to keep any eye on it

 

If you haven't seen anything yet... I'm due for renewal early March and received a letter in the mail from ISP about renewing CCL.

 

Surprised me they sent out a reminder.

Respectfully,

Who Certifies the Certifiers?

 

If you're an Instructor for CCW in Illinois, and are a CCW Permit Holder, who certifies you, when your permit to carry is up for renewal and you also need that 3-Hour Renewal Certification? Thank you in advance.

[Molly B.]

No, instructors do not need the 3-hr certificate.

[navreet]

Molly, I am doing my renewal application, and am an Instructor. On the ISP website, during renewal application, it is still asking me for my instructor's name, and CCT#. Why or how do I bypass that?

[Molly B.]

Before you get to that or somewhere on that page is the option to click on the exemption.

 

Are your instructor credentials up to date with the ISP?

[navreet]

Thank you, Molly. I saw where there is a box for Exemption on the same screen where you are asked to enter your instructor's name and CCT#. Application complete and submitted for a renewal date of 02/28/2019.

We charge $50/person for the 3-Hour Renewal Certification. Call us at 618-303-5264. Next class December 8, 2018 9-12 (Noon)

We are located in Carbondale, IL.

[navreet]

There is an Exemption Box you need to check on the same page, where ordinarily, you'd be entering the instructor's name and CCT#. The box is located in the second half of the page. No Re-Cert required for Instructors to renew CCL. Hope, this helps. Note: I just sent my CCL Renewal a couple of days ago. Send your application as soon as you get the notice to Renew. Any delay may result in being without valid CCL.
