How to renew
- Watch for the renewal notice. FDACS mails it about 95 days before your license expires. The handbook says to apply 60 to 90 days ahead, and that you're responsible even if the notice never comes.
- No class hours for Class D. Section 493.6113 adds renewal requirements only for Class B, G, DS, RS and K licenses.
- Renew online with your renewal notice, a digital passport-style color photo taken in the last 6 months, and a card or e-check. Or renew in person at a regional office, or by mail to FDACS Division of Licensing, P.O. Box 5767, Tallahassee, FL 32314-5767.
- Pay $61.75 before it expires: the $45 renewal fee plus $16.75 fingerprint retention. Online adds 2.5% for a card or $0.50 for an e-check.
- Armed? Your Class G needs 4 hours of requalification with a Class K instructor in each year of its 2-year term, for each type and caliber you carry; send the proof to FDACS when you finish. Renew the G online too ($112 plus $16.75).
- Don't work a post on an expired license. The statute bars any regulated activity between the expiration date and the renewal.
| Fee (FDACS renewal schedule) | Class D | Class G |
|---|---|---|
| Renewal license fee | $45 | $112 |
| Fingerprint retention | $16.75 | $16.75 |
| Late fee, within 3 months after it expires | $45 | $112 |
| Replace or revise the license | $15 | $15 |
Fees: the FDACS renewal fee schedule and rule 5N-1.116. Online renewal adds a 2.5% card fee or $0.50 e-check fee. Active-duty service members and their spouses, veterans who served on active duty in the 2 years before expiration, and some surviving spouses can have renewal fees waived (s. 493.6113(7)).
If it expires
- From the day after it expires you can't do any security work until it's renewed (s. 493.6113(6)).
- Within 3 months you can still renew, with a late fee equal to the license fee: $45 more for Class D (rule 5N-1.116).
- Statute: "No license shall be renewed 3 months or more after its expiration date." Then it's a new, complete application with new fees.
- Expired a year or more? You're a new applicant and must take the 40-hour Class D course again (s. 493.6303).
