I just turned in the paperwork to change my name at the Capitol yesterday.  How do I change the name on my handgun permit?  Do I have to go back to HPD and stand in that line?  Do I even need to change the name on the permit?

Best to make sure everything matches up so yes, back to the window where they'll probably just use a pen to cross out and update and make a xerox for your circular errr, file.  I had to make a change and they didn't even make a copy just hand it back to me.

Ya, same here. They made a typo on my new registration and just told me to cross off the mistake and write in the correct info. After all the crap they make you go through to get a firearm, this is how they handle errors, lol.

Thanks for the replies everyone!  Wow, it's hard to believe that it was such a PITA to buy my first gun and then they're so lax once you have it.

Why not?  Unless you give them a reason there's no reason for further incursion.  You will have been fingerprinted, paid the price and fees, filled the forms, completed the background checks and mandatory waiting time.  Back to peaceful and safer enjoyment of your life!  They have better things to do, like go after criminals.

Your permit/registration is linked to all your identification information (photo, fingerprints, SSN, etc.). No action is required as HPD won't make changes. Just make sure you bring your name change documents the next time and everytime you get a permit or register. Without it, you will be turned away. You can leave your registrations or permit to acquire unmarked/unaltered. ***My sister went through this when she got married*** 

Same here!  Typo on my date printed/picture section!  They typed the year as "28".  Told the officer about it and the ballpoint pen was pulled out and wrote "13" over the "28" and handed it back to me.  It was bugging the crap outta me (and it still does) but i guess this is the NORM from what I'm reading on how they handle "typos" on the registration form that they type out.  I was thinking more along the line like the FED form we fill out where if you make a mistake, the whole form needs to be done over again.  I feel better knowing that I not the only one with typos on my reg copy!  Its my freakin OCD that i have issues with! 

I had HPD change (while I was still there) the caliber on my rifle registration.  762mm was a little larger than what I had.

It took a little bit of time to explain that 762mm is a little larger than 3/10ths of an inch.........
