    Default Change of address...

    I moved earlier this year, and my current address on my CCW card is different than my legal address. I renewed my driver's license last year and didn't feel like paying for a new one so I simply ordered a change of address card. I keep it in my wallet with my driver's license as well as my CCW card. Does the change of address form somehow cover my CCW as well, or do I need to go down and get a new card made with my new address?

    I believe you should be good until your current LTCF expires.

    There is no requirement to get it changed...but it is recommended that you inform the issuing sheriff of your new address so they know where to send the renewal/revocation notice. A phone call will suffice.

    What he said. Your LTCF is valid with your original address, no need to get it changed or updated. You should inform the issuing Sheriff about your change of address so your renewal application will be sent to the proper address but it's not mandatory. Even if you inform the issuing Sheriff you need to pay attention to the expiration date so you don't let your license lapse in the event that the renewal application doesn't get to you for whatever reason.

    I don't have a short temper, I just have a quick reaction to bullshit.

    Since I moved from Bucks to Mont county I cannot renew my LTCF in Bucks anyway, correct?

    I'm in the same situation. I asked my neighbor who works for mcginn (delco sheriff) she told me not to worry about it, when you renew just give your current address,..

    Correct...but receiving that renewal notice is a good reminder.

    You beat me to it.
    That's exactly right, the reminder is nice but not mandatory. That's why I mentioned that you need to pay attention to your expiration date regardless of whether you notify the Sheriff's office or not. It also doesn't hurt to have record on file that you are actually paying attention to your circumstances. (It may not help, but it can't hurt).

    One of several reasons I also carry a Utah CWP, it expires about a year after my Pa LTCF does.

    Or you could go to the sheriff's office and get a new one with your current address for $5. At least thats how it is here in westmoreland.
