Moved.....is permit still valid?
Moved from Chester County to Delaware County. So now the address on my permit isn't my home address.
Do I need to get a new one? This one doesn't expire for almost 3 years.

Re: Moved.....is permit still valid?
Good question! I would make a trip to your new county sheriffs office because they will probably issue you a new permit in the new county. I do know that as a PA resident you can only obtain a permit from within the county you reside.

Your required (says on back) to update your Drivers License with PennDOT within 15 days if you move.
As for the LTCF, I really don't know. I can't find anything saying you are required to update it if you move. I would though...just to be safe...and in case you are stopped and someone looks at it.

Re: Moved.....is permit still valid?
Q. Should I notify the Sheriff's Office if my address changes?
A. YES. You should call the Firearms Unit (344-6984) if your address changes, or send us a change of address card. Your renewal will be sent to you in the mail prior to the expiration date on your license. Please check your license to make sure the address on it is correct.
from the Chester County Sheriff web page.

Notifying for your DL is a law. There's nothing on the books about a LTCF (at least i can't find)

I can't find any supporting documentation, but given that permits are issued on a per-county basis, I would think that when you move form county-to-county one would need to contact the respective sheriff's offices.
In addition, given that one's address is on the permit, I would think that any change in address would require an update to the permit and the sheriff's records.

Previously discussed on another website.
The LTCF is valid until it expires, despite your having changed addresses.
Unlike a driver's license, there are no forms for effecting a change of address for an LTCF.
The Uniform Firearms Act is silent on the subject other than the license being valid until revoked or expired.
You're good to go.

Your LTC is still valid anywhere in the state of PA even when you move. You do need to update your DL with PennDOT.
