Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) Application Process Transitioning to Online System

The Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) application process for the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office is moving to a fully online platform designed to enhance accessibility, improve ease of service, and provide a more citizen-driven experience.

The new system will allow applicants to complete and manage all CHP-related applications online, including:

  • CHP new applications
  • CHP renewal applications
  • Change of address requests
  • Name change requests
  • Lost permit replacements

All applications will be submitted and processed through the Permitium platform, which will be accessible via a link on the CHP webpage.

Under this updated system:

  • Applicants will schedule their own appointments online
  • Applicants will be able to modify appointments directly within Permitium
  • Applicants will have real-time access to check the status of their applications

This transition is intended to streamline services while maintaining a high level of professionalism and support. Aside from moving to an online application and self-scheduling system, the overall CHP process for applicants will remain largely unchanged.

El Paso County Sheriff Joseph Roybal stated:

“This move to an online CHP application system reflects our continued commitment to accessibility, ease of service, and a citizen-driven approach. Our goal is to ensure the public experiences a streamlined process, maintaining the highest standard of quality service while making it more convenient for applicants and instructors alike. My Office remains committed to delivering efficient, transparent, and accessible services to the community while modernizing processes to better meet public needs.”
