My renewal about a year ago was closer to 4 months... hope it has gotten better. Actually had a lapse waiting for the new one.

Starting backwards with the right now current situation ;
NH by itself has decent coverage in the Eastern US , mostly east of the Mississippi River . But the big thing is they are Quick ! , with no time consuming requirements . You could print out the form right now, fill it out , send it out in the morning by Express Mail flat rate Envelope , and have better than even odds of having Permit in hand within single digit Days, two weeks at outside, including return Mail .
Some of here make a hobby of collecting a fist full of cards , but for someone without any to get quickly up to speed, NH is their Huckleberry . For example when Mrs Biggfoot & Biggfootette anounced that surprise, in less than 3 weeks we're going to Alabama to vist ( long time friend ) . Since you're not able to go , we want our own Permits . ( They're both lifelong shooters , both recently had Utah/ Fla class from well known IP., and Mrs Biggfoot is LFI Grad .But when their FLA plans fell through , didn't imeadately follow through spending their own $ to get Fla . )
Back in the day, ie 1980s , NH was one of the few Shall Issue Non Resident Permits , and I was actually going to be spending time In NH . ( This was before the era of widespread Reciprocity .) Kept renewing as long as I had my Md W&C .
In my middle years , they flip flopping on requiring home state Permit , so I was in & out .
Then in current era, they were the primary Non Res accepted by Pa , the same time their State Supreme Court ruled that state Constitution required Permits for all non residents unless prohibited, or denied for specific cause .
Even after Pa went away, I keep it up for my redundant backup Permit with staggered expiration . I mean to eventually get DC, and probably Fla , but they are lingering on back burner .

Am I reading correctly that there are no prints required for NH and it's just the $100 fee and the form?
Does VA send you a letter saying it is renewal time like I got from UT or do I have to keep track of the expiry date? Thanks all.

I've had to remind myself to renew both times it came up. I don't believe that they reach out to their permit holders proactively.

No I don’t believe I received notification.
They do not. You are responsible for knowing when it expires and sending in the renewal on time. My first CCW from VA expired when I found out. I called and the nice lady said to send in the paperwork and mark it as a renewal. I am glad this came up. Made me look at it. Mine expires 10/2020.

Yes, just fill out the form and a check, mail and wait about a week.

Wish I had seen this before I applied for VA!!!!!!!!
You can also OC in VA without a permit in case you have a lapse.
Not uncommon in that neck of the woods either.

It's pretty rare in town where our place is, though I have seen people.
We were in Rhapahannock County last weekend at the gas station and a big fella came out of the store munching a ham biscuit with his Glock on his hip.

Nope. Mine expired and I did not realize.
Renewal took about a month. This was last winter.
Thanks All, I need to take a look at mine and make sure I renew it before it expires.

Thanks for that information. I'm glad that you were able to renew it even though it had expired. I need to take a look at mine this evening.

Hence why it is wise to have at least one redundant non res permit, with staggered expiration .

Well, what do you know, it showed up today. Four months to the day since I received the receipt.
And VA now accepts any other state’s permit...
Still planning on eventually renewing my VA permit to ease a LEO encounter and GFZA, but submitting new rolled prints and a photo is a PITA.
AZ or UT are much better options. And unless you carry in Washington State, AZ hands down is your best bang for the buck.
