Duplicate CWFL's?

Silly question, I did a quick search on here and didn't find anything and I don't recall this in the fine print of 790. But it's been a while....

Is it legal to possess duplicate CWFL's. Meaning you have the one you were issued and then you report it lost and get a second one and now have two in your possession?

Pretty sure this is illegal to do with a DL but is it for a CWFL?

Also, if a CWFL is reported lost or destroyed, do they issue you a new one with a new license number or does it stay the same as your original license?

Just one of those things I thought about at 2:30am this morning staring at the ceiling...:dunno

Thanks....

Having two CWFL's isn't illegal - as long as you don't have to commit perjury to get the 2nd one. I don't know if you have to sign anything to get a "replacement" but if you signed something saying that you lost it, when you know full well you didn't, then that'd probably be a no no. But I can certainly see how one might misplace it temporarily, order a duplicate in a panic, and then the original miraculously turns up. :grin

I have two from misplacing my wallet for over a week. I don't remember signing anything stating I lost my original & they certainly didn't say it was illegal to have two. I walked into the AG office, explained I couldn't find my wallet & said I need a replacement as I carry every day. I provided ID ( my new DL that I had gotten ) & they went in back & came out with a copy, I paid a minimal fee & off I went. & yes it's all the same as the original, as it was a copy from their data base.

So you didn't have to supply another passport picture?

Isn't there an office near/in Tampa that you can go in and get your renewal or lost license? Anyone have the address or link to it?

thanks,

When they stopped printing your address on the license, they offered an opportunity to get your licence re-issued if it had your address on it. For 15 dollars I got one without the address. They didn't ask for the original back. For many years I had two. Never gave it a thought. IIRC there was no visible/obvious indication that the second card was a duplicate or a re-issuance.

790.06
(9) In the event that a concealed weapon or firearm license is lost or destroyed, the license shall be automatically invalid, and the person to whom the same was issued may, upon payment of $15 to the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, obtain a duplicate, or substitute thereof, upon furnishing a notarized statement to the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services that such license has been lost or destroyed.
