I'm just curious if anybody has tried this yet. Mine expires in 4 months I want to send in the renewal soon.

Taking the risk of being pummeled for being ignorant, but is this something new? I renewed in August, submitting my renewal at the court house after calling in for information on how to proceed. I was instructed that I would have to physically appear to apply for my renewal. Which is a pain because I leave my county at O' dark thirty and return well after the court house is closed for the day. Is this something that is at the discretion of the court house, maybe I got a new employee, or do most folks get to mail in their renewal requests? This occurred on the Blue Ridge side of the Shenandoah Valley.

You were in a unique situation, the 90 day window for your renewal would have been before the law took effect, so I suppose technically, they could have rejected it.I renewed in August...
I'm stating the obvious here, but as Mike noted, this is great for cases like Fairfax, which like to require additional hoops. This requires them to notify you in writing if they choose to deny your application based on their "extra-legal" requirements. It will be quite interesting to see what a judge says when you get to your hearing and present that little piece of paper."The circuit court that receives the application shall promptly notify an applicant if the application is incomplete or if the fee submitted for the permit pursuant to subsection K is incorrect."
So here is where I'm at with this right now.
I have called the Circuirt Court (703) 691-7320 Option 3 for circuit court option 5 for info on CHP. The automated response told me to go the website. That is where I got the PHone number. Can you say chasing ones tail!!!!
So I called the Fairfax County Attorney who then gave the phone numer (703) 691-7320 they also told me I had to physically come to the court house to renew, I told her I don't think that is true anymore, but she did tell me the secret about after going through all the prompts hit 0 to get to live person. I didn't get a live person but I got an answering machine for Ms. Carol Snow.
I left this message.
Ms. Snow I'm trying to get the proper forms and procedures for renewing my CHP through the mail in fairfax county. I understand a new law went into effect earlier this year which authorizes me to do this. Would you mind providing me with the information to do this.
I'm thinking about going to the court house going up to the window and asking them how to renew via mail.
Pursuant to Code of Virginia §18.2-308, any person twenty-one years of age or older may apply in writing to the clerk of the circuit court in which he or she resides, or if he or she is a member of the United States Armed Forces, the county or city in which he or she is domiciled, for a five-year permit to carry a concealed handgun.

Just got offf the phone with Ms. Snow. Very nice lady.
She said that Fairfax has always accepted renewals by mail.
Heres what she said:

3 copies old permit None, see application.
Something that puts me at current residence (Bill, Voter, or rental aggreement) No.
Self Address Stamped envelope Not required.

I wouldn't provide any of that extraneous paperwork, if it were me.
I'd make 'em waddle down the hall to the photocopier, but that's just me and I can be an ass sometimes.
