What happens to my concealed handgun permit if I move within Colorado or out of the state?

You must notify the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office within 30 days of an address change. Failure to do so is a chargeable offense. If you move within the state of Colorado, the permit remains valid. If you move out of state, the permit becomes invalid and must be returned to the issuing sheriff’s office. You will need to complete a change of address form.


Submit the Change of Address Form (PDF) or any renewal applications in the county you reside, own property, or own a business in.  A new card will be issued and the old one confiscated and destroyed.
