Under Oregon law, what action is required if you move after obtaining a CHL?

  1. Notify the issuing sheriff's office within 30 days

  2. Reapply for a new CHL in your new county of residence

  3. No action is required

  4. Just update your address online

The correct answer is: Notify the issuing sheriff's office within 30 days

When you obtain a Concealed Handgun License (CHL) in Oregon and subsequently move, Oregon law requires you to notify the issuing sheriff's office within 30 days of your address change. This requirement is in place to ensure that the licensing authority has accurate and up-to-date information about your residence, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the permit process and for any law enforcement purposes. Keeping your information current helps in situations where your license might need to be verified or if any legal issues arise. While it may seem convenient to update your address online or assume that no action is necessary, these options do not fulfill the legal obligation to formally notify the sheriff's office. Additionally, reapplying for a new CHL simply because of an address change is not necessary; the law specifically outlines the notification process rather than requiring a complete reapplication.
