After taking your Illinois Concealed Carry Renewal Class with Alpha Koncepts (check calendar), you would apply at www.ispfsb.com The ccl renewal application process is very much the same as the original application. Applications by phone are also available, however it is unlikely the ISP will answer the call due to an overwhelming volume of calls. Alpha Koncepts does offer application assistance; simply ask your instructor if you need help applying for renewal.

Change your address with the Illinois Secretary of State first on your Driver’s License or state ID. Then apply for renewal of your concealed carry license with the state police. You can change your address as part of the renewal process and don’t need to change your address first. We discuss this topic in greater detail in this article.

The fee to renew the Illinois Concealed Carry license is the same as the original fee. $150.00, plus a $3.58 convenience fee if you use your credit card.

Times vary. It’s hard to say, but in 2022 4 months isn’t uncommon. The good news is, if you renew your concealed carry license before you expire, Illinois law says you are still valid while the renewal processes.

After 12 years in the business, we have relationships with nearly every shooting range in the Chicagoland area. However, the two ranges we use the most for our Illinois Concealed Carry Renewal Classes include Maxon’s Shooters in Des Plaines as well as Article II in Lombard. We will discuss the range location on the first day of class.

The Illinois Concealed Carry Renewal Class qualification consists of 30 rounds fired. For that reason, we usually suggest students bring two boxes or 100 rounds of ammunition. A box of ammunition usually consists of 50 rounds, and in the off-chance, a student needs to retake their qualification, 50 rounds won’t be enough to shoot twice, so bring two boxes just in case. In most cases, you may also buy ammunition from the range.

Range fees may be additional, though we occasionally run promotions. Check the individual calendar listing to be sure! Your state application fee(s) are not included. These fees are paid directly to the state. Fingerprints are optional for the Illinois concealed carry license application and therefore are not included. Students will be required to provide ammunition and firearms, or may also rent them.
