So You Moved? Don't Get Stuck in Concealed Carry Address Caper!
Hey there, Florida's finest firearms enthusiasts! Ever done the old switcheroo and moved to a new digs, only to realize your trusty CCW permit still reflects your old address? Don't worry, we've all been there (except maybe for those folks living in a sweet, time-capsule mansion for the past century). Fear not, fellow defenders of domestic tranquility, for changing your address on your Florida CCW is easier than wrangling a rogue gator (though probably not quite as exciting).

The Great Florida Address Update: A Not-So-Thrilling Tale
First things first, you are legally required to notify the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) within 30 days of your move. Don't worry, they're not the fun police, they just like to keep their records squeaky clean.
Here's the good news: the process is about as dramatic as watching paint dry. You have two options, both about as suspenseful as waiting for a participation trophy:
Tip: Pause if your attention drifts.
- Option 1: Embrace the Digital Age. Head over to the FDACS website (because who doesn't love a good government website in their free time?), log in to your account, and update your information. It's like online banking, but for guns (hopefully less likely to result in an overdraft).
- Option 2: Channel Your Inner Snail Mail Enthusiast. Print out a Change of Address form (yes, those still exist!), fill it out with your new address, lick a stamp (because who even uses those anymore?), and mail it off. Just be sure you used the right kind of stamp – don't want your CCW update taking a scenic detour to Siberia.
Important Note: Updating your address won't get you a fancy new CCW with your swanky new address on it. The FDACS simply updates their records. But hey, at least you're on the right side of the law, and that's what truly matters.
Frequently Asked Address Update Antics (cause who doesn't love a good FAQ?)
How to access the online update system? Great question! You'll need to head over to the FDACS Concealed Weapons Licensing website – a quick Google search should get you there.
Tip: Take a sip of water, then continue fresh.
How long does the online update take? In theory, it's instantaneous. But hey, government websites have their own sense of time, so maybe grab a cup of coffee?

How long does it take to update by mail? Patience, my friend. Snail mail can be slower than a Florida gator on a full stomach, so give it a few weeks.
Tip: Share this article if you find it helpful.
What if I don't update my address? Don't tempt fate! Having outdated information could cause problems with renewing your CCW or even legal issues. Play it safe and update that address.
Can I update my address if I'm moving out of state? Nope. A Florida CCW is only valid for Florida residents. You'll need to check the requirements for your new state.
QuickTip: Pause when something clicks.
So there you have it, folks! Updating your Florida CCW address is a breeze. Now get out there, explore your new digs, and keep Florida safe (and maybe avoid any rogue gators you encounter).
