To apply for a Nevada concealed carry permit, you will first need to complete an eight hour training class approved by any Sheriff in Nevada, which will include a shooting qualification and a written test.
You then take your application with proof of training to the Sheriff’s office. They will fingerprint you and take your photo. The current fee for a new permit in Nye County is $100.25.
If you are aNevada resident, you must apply to the Sheriff in your county of residence. If you are a nonresident you must apply in the same county where you took your training class.
The Sheriff’s office has 120 days to approve or deny your CCW application (or renewal request).
Your permit will be valid for five years from the date it is issued.
To renew a permit that has not yet expired, you must complete a four hour renewal training class before submitting your renewal request to the Sheriff who issued your permit. The fee for renewing a permit is $65.25.
Your renewed permit will be valid for five years from the date it is issued.
If your permit has expired, you have 365 days to renew it, (four hour training class, $65.25 renewal fee) with the addition of a $15 late fee.
If your permit has expired for more than 365 days, you will have to complete the whole permit process again, i.e., take the eight hour CCW class and pay the full $100.25 initial application fee.
Our advice would be to submit your renewal application at least 120 days before expiration to be certain of getting your new permit before your current permit expires. Remember that if your permit expires, you cannot lawfully carry concealed until you receive your new permit.
