Just got my Florida CCW license in the mail today. Came pretty quick, too. 33 days.

 

Now my question is with it being a strong possibility that I'm moving to PA soon, will it still be valid after I do an address change? I will get my PA carry license but I just want to know if FL will be good even as a PA resident. The FL license doesn't have my NJ address on it. I tried searchin the site and Google for the answer but couldn't come up with an answer.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, however you should apply for a PA LTCF once you've changed residences.

I absolutly will. I was just wonderin if it would be valid while I was waiting for my PA license. Thanks for the input, jon.

Sure will but you have a period of time to notify FL of your change of address.

It is the position of the Office of Attorney General that recognition within Pennsylvania is based on the issuance to an individual of a valid license/permit by the reciprocal contracting state, and not on the license/permit holder's place of residence.

 

 

where you live is non issue

I read somewhere in the manual that came with the FL license application packet that you do have to notify if you change addresses. However, getting a new card with the new address is optional, for a nominal fee.

 

Not sure about PA's law, but I know some states only allow their residents to carry if they have a license issued by the state, and they can't get around it just by getting a FL license. I know Colorado has this rule. So I would echo the suggestion of getting the PA license, and still keep the FL license.

Yes, my FL license does have my (NJ)address on it. FL must have changed the appearance of the licenses by not putting addresses on it anymore.

 

I would still suggest that you update your address with FL, because otherwise they'll only have your old address on file. I found a helpful link for you from the FL Dept of Agriculture (the agency that issues the license) that actually requires you to update your current address:
