You've got me beat on price and length of time between renewals, but, other than that, I don't know.
In AL, we have to renew our "Pistol Permits" which are for concealed carry not owning the firearm every year, one year from the date you got it. My home county is $15.00 (it varies by county). We have to go to the Sherriff's department, pay them, and walk out with our new permit, maybe 2 mins total if there is no line. The last few years, I've been out of state and got my parents to renew it for me. A few years ago, I lost my billfold and everything in it. The pistol permit was the easiest thing to get replaced. They mailed it to a PO box in KY for free.
The day after I turned 21, I drove to the Sherriff of my home county, filled out the paperwork, and walked out with a permit. They usually make you wait a day or two the first time, but she gave it to me that day because I was going to school out of town and coming back to get it was a bit tricky.
