NEW YORK STATE Concealed Carry Recertification Prior to 2013 in New Yok State, pistol permits were good for a lifetime and required no recertification.  In 2013, the NY S.A.F.E. Act required pistol permit holders to recertify every five years. This began in January of 2017. Those that certified in 2017 had to recertify five years later, in 2022. But on September 1 2022, the state adjusted the rules for those who held a concealed carry pistol permit and legislated they must recertify every three years, not the five that continues to apply to other pistol permit holders. So, for those concealed carry permit holders that recertified in 2022 and thought they had five years, guess what?  You will need to recertify this year – 2025 Prior to 2013, lifetime pistol permitting had been typically handled through the county clerks’ offices.  But the SAFE Act granted control of the new pistol permit recertification process to the New York State Police, and it is to be done via a computer.  During the recertification process, handgun owners affirm their basic personal information and that they still own the guns appearing on their permit and list which are co-owned and by whom. To handle this process an online system was created. If you want to check your recertification status: Go to: https://firearms.troopers.ny.gov/pprecert/welcome.faces   Click on Check Recertification Status You will need to know:  your last name, date of birth, driver’s license number, last four digits of your social security number and that you are not a robot Click on Check Recertification Status Your recertification status should then appear.
