You will need to be fingerprinted, and the fee will be a non-refundable sum of $50.75. Be sure to check “Original application”, NOT “Late renewal of license” on the Concealed Pistol License application. 

What if I lose my Concealed Pistol License?

Fill out the Concealed Pistol License application and check “Replacement license” on the form. Please be sure to bring picture identification (i.e. Washington driver’s license or ID card). The fee for a replacement license is $10.00. The expiration date will remain the same as it was on your original license. 

Does Washington have reciprocity for Concealed Pistol Licenses with any other states? 
Washington has reciprocity or accepts Concealed Pistol Licenses issued by a number of other states, so long as the handgun is carried in accordance with Washington law.
