Lake County renewal appointment. Total time spent was 90 minutes (
including an extra questionnaire and interview about our original course and instructors). Visit was easy and relatively pleasant. Walked out with our new licenses -- same day. Deputies and staff were efficient, polite and busy. Place was packed with news and renewals.

Wayne County is Great.
Renewed today. Had a appointment for 11:40AM got there at 11:30 took me right in. The whole deal took about 10 minutes and walked out with my new permit. And on the plus side I am a Veteran so it was free.
By the way this was my second renewal.

Hard to believe it's been 5 years since I got my Ohio CHL. I went today for my renewal. Was in and out of the Warren county sheriff's office in 15 mins with my new CHL in hand. I got an appt pretty quick too. Got it within a week.

I attempted to renew my CCW at Erie County Sheriffs Dept in Sandusky.
I had my forms and $50 bank check.
I was told I was allowed a 30 day grace period and they would not be renewing until after that grace period was up.
(Does that seem just "wrong" to anyone else besides me?)
And I would not be allowed to renew without a face-mask.

Did you try Lorain county? Wife and I got ours renewed in early April with no trouble. They had reduced hours but were still processing renewals and new licenses.

Geauga County.
Scheduled my appointment on 12/17/2020. My expiration was 03/31/2021.
First available appointment was 6/22/2021, which I of-course took, thankful for that grace period. I understood that I could have gone anywhere, but old habits and all.
Geauga's website instructions are easy-to-follow, and I found it to be accurate:
https://sheriff.co.geauga.oh.us/Divisio ... plications" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. Post 2 is off Kinsman. The designated parking area for "CCW" applicants is just west of the building, gravel lot. There's a small "CCW" sign just off the road that designates the lot and entrance. Heading eastbound, this is actually the first lot you'll come to: Google's street-view shows the Post 2 building and its two gray metal doors with a green dumpster adjacent. The door/window is clearly marked, you won't miss that.
The only slight inconvenience for me was getting that <30-days-old passport photo, but with the abundance of smartphone apps and how commonplace color ink/laser-jet printers have become, it really wasn't all that much of a bother, either. This photo is for your paper application. They'll take a digital photo at the appointment.
My appointment took 15 minutes out of 20 minutes allotted: this was because it took a little extra time for fingerprinting, as the machine kept glitching.
The gentleman with the appointment slot before mine took only about 10 (I saw him enter and leave, but I wasn't in the building, so I don't know if his was a renewal or new).
This was my second renewal at Geauga (also my original issuance), and it was as seamless and pleasant as the other two times.
My SASE arrived in 4 business-days in my home (Cuyahoga County) mailbox.

Passport photo for a renewal? Thought renewals just needed an application, the fee, and the old CHL as proof of renewal?
