When I moved from Scotland to Hoke county I went to the Hoke sheriffs office. They did the address change,gave me a temporary paper permit until my replacement was issued.

 

I just went to Wake County Sheriff's to renew my CHP! There were 2 people in front of me changing his/her address. The married/change of name and address required an "application" but, the change of address they did, on the spot!

 

Thanks guys.
This seems like more of a hassle than I thought it would be.
I haven't even had my permit for a year yet.

There is almost no way that I will be able to make it back to Wilmington in the near future.

Should I not carry at all while I have a driver's license with my Durham address but a carry permit with my Wilmington address?
I know they both need to match.
But it seems like anytime anyone moves there has to be a period in between where they don't match while you are trying to change addresses.

I know you said you have gotten this straightened out, but just a comment. If you do change address with previous county sheriff, they should give you a print out verifying the change. That paper along with original CHP will suffice until renewal (or if you go get a new one).

That is my understanding (correct me if I am wrong)

you are correct

Good to hear Wilmington was easy to work with. Guilford required everything be done face to face.

 

Just an update. For anybody that is curious, you do NOT need to go back to where your permit was issued. The county where your permit was issued just needs to fax a change of address form to the new county. You then fill it out at the new county, and they send it back to the original one. And then you can get a duplicate permit at the new county with the new address.

 

I recently changed the address on mine. Mine was just moving from one place in Durham to another, so only had to deal with the Durham Sheriff's office. I had to go there, show my new drivers license with the new address and pay $15 cash (or $18.45 with credit card) for a duplicate permit. They gave me a temporary permit on a piece of paper and said they would call in 7-10 days when my new permit was ready to be picked up.

 

I lurk here, but guys….

Here in North Carolina, you have a Cconcealed Handgun Permit.

Leave all your nomenclature from where ever, there.

I am just so you know.

While we are making sure we all use the correct nomenclature and words, note that "where ever" is actually one word - wherever.

:hilarious: Sorry - couldn't resist! No harm, no foul.

 

Duly noted. Will do better.

Comma. You did catch the part about reporting a change of address to the sheriff in Wilmington within 30 days regardless of anything else (i.e. even if you aren't going to proceed with CCH in new location)?

It's like CCH holders are registered predators.

Also some sheriffs offer a duplicate CCH with new address so you don't have to carry that piece of paper around. I think I paid $5 for my last duplicate.

Thanks for bringing this topic up. The process really chapped my butt last move...but was too busy moving to deal with it. Time to contact reps and McCrory.

What about folks who don't have a permanent address? Motor home, short term rentals, van down by the river, etc.

 

But it seems like anytime anyone moves there has to be a period in between where they don't match while you are trying to change addresses.

There is.

A person who is issued a permit shall notify the sheriff who issued the permit of any change in the person's permanent address within 30 days after the change of address.

 

Thanks guys.

Once you have your new license, you have to change your address with the issuing county,they will then give a paper showing teh chnage, to be carried along with your permit until renewal time. I moved from Gso, to Statesville and had to go back to Greensboro to do the paperwork. Fortunately my CCH was due for renewal shortly there after so I renewed in Iredell with no issue.

I'm confused.
Are you sure they don't issue a new card with the new address on it? I thought that's what they told me in my class.
And are you saying I would have to go back to Wilmington to do this?

My license doesn't expire for almost 5 years. Are you saying I have to also now carry a folded up piece of paper in my wallet for 5 years? That doesn't seem right...

Does anyone know where I have to go to change the address in Durham County?

In the case of a recent move between two adjoining counties where my girlfriend has to change hers, she took the old CHP permit, and the paper from the old sheriff's office with the change of address, to the sheriff's office for the county of the new address. They issued her a new card with the new address.

Since you are so far away from Wilmington, there may be another process. Call your old county first though, as that is where the process would start.

 

After you change your address if you would like a new permit card instead of carrying around the piece of paper, you go to the sheriff office of the county your currently live in.

ggrjr gave you the correct information. Changes of address are done through the sheriff of the county that ISSUED your permit. For you, that is New Hanover County. Durham County cannot change the address on your permit.
