When should you sign up?
90 days before your Permit expires is the earliest you can sign up with the Stanislaus County Sheriff. But you can take our class earlier if you'd like because Certificate of completion is valid for 6 months with Stanislaus S.O.
As of April 11th, 2019. Sheriff Dirkse has implemented a new policy that you must apply with Sheriff office before 15 days after your permit expires or you will need to start over.
