What happens if you move to a different county after obtaining an Oregon CHL?

  1. You must surrender your CHL

  2. Your CHL becomes invalid

  3. You must notify the issuing sheriff

  4. Nothing, your CHL remains valid

The correct answer is: You must notify the issuing sheriff

The correct action when you move to a different county after obtaining an Oregon Concealed Handgun License (CHL) is to notify the issuing sheriff. This requirement helps ensure that the sheriff's office is up-to-date on your information, which is important for any background checks or potential issues that may arise regarding your license. Your CHL does not automatically become invalid or need to be surrendered simply because you’ve relocated. The license remains valid even if you change your residency to another county, but communication with the issuing authority is essential. This maintains the integrity of the licensing process and ensures that your credibility as a license holder is preserved. It’s also worth noting that keeping your contact information current with the sheriff's office enhances public safety efforts and helps in the event that they need to reach you regarding your license status or any related matters.
