What should a CHP holder in North Carolina do if their permit is lost or stolen?

  1. Report to the police within 48 hours

  2. Apply for a replacement permit immediately

  3. Notify the issuing sheriff's office as soon as possible

  4. There is no requirement to report or replace a lost or stolen permit

The correct answer is: Notify the issuing sheriff's office as soon as possible

CHP holders in North Carolina are required to notify the issuing sheriff's office as soon as possible if their permit is lost or stolen. While it may seem like a good idea to report to the police within 48 hours (option A), this is not the correct course of action as the issuing sheriff's office is responsible for handling CHP permits. Applying for a replacement permit (option B) may seem like a logical solution, but this is not the required process in North Carolina. Option D is incorrect as there is a requirement to report and replace a lost or stolen permit in North Carolina. Therefore, the best course of action for a CHP holder in North Carolina is to notify the issuing sheriff's office as soon as possible (option C).
