014 CHANGE OF NAME OR ADDRESS OF PERMIT HOLDER
014.01 Permit holders who change name or address are required to notify the Nebraska State Patrol Concealed Handgun Permit Program in writing within thirty (30) days of the change in name or address.
014.02 A permit holder may obtain a replacement permit by returning the current permit to the Nebraska State Patrol Concealed Handgun Permit Program and submitting a written request for a replacement permit. If the applicant still meets the requirements for a permit, the Nebraska State Patrol shall issue a replacement permit within five (5) working days of receiving the request. The replacement permit shall have the same expiration date as the initial or renewed permit.
014.03 A permit holder may request to pick up the replacement permit in person or have it mailed.
This does not address the issue of carrying concealed while waiting for new CHP with current address. If someone in the Omaha or Hastings office of the SP says do not carry, I'll go with that.
I would rather error on the cautious, and not possibly violate a statute, or cause an officer concern by my documents having different addresses.
In the next paragraph it states"
015 LOST, STOLEN OR DAMAGED PERMITS
015.01 A permit holder whose permit is lost, stolen, or damaged shall notify the Nebraska State Patrol in writing within ten (10) days of determining that the permit is lost, stolen, or damaged. When notified of a lost, stolen, or damaged permit, the Nebraska State Patrol shall cancel the permit. The permit holder shall not carry a concealed handgun until the Nebraska State Patrol issues a replacement.
In this paragraph, it says the SP will cancel the CHP, and you are not to carry concealed until the permit is reissued. This additional language would seem to imply, a permit is good, unless it has been canceled.
In the case of moving, it is not canceled, it is replaced. Still, I am not going to go concealed carry, with a miss-match of addresses, strewn across the documents in my vehicle. My DL, CHP, insurance cards, registration, all are going to have the same address on them.
Interesting topic of discussion.

I filled out the form and the lady behind the counter took my permit with the old address and said I could not carry until the new one with my current address came in the mail.
She said my new drivers license had to match the permit.

Not saying the lady working the counter, quoted the statutes correctly, (maybe she did?) but going armed, is a big responsibility, and I would think, anyone wishing to do so, would be prudent, having all documents up to date, and everything current.
Gary:
I find it hard to believe, the NSP would reissue a CHP for an address change, at no cost. When was the last time you saw a bureaucracy do something like this, at no cost? What is a photocopy of an accident report, $10 a page or something like that?

And that is your prerogative, but also your opinion.....just wanted to make sure that is mentioned here so as readers are not misinformed. It is NOT a part of the CHP statutes.....

Here is a quote from the NSP website FAQ's
--- Quote ---Do I have to report a change of name or address after I get a permit?
Yes. Your permit must contain your current name and address to be valid. The form for initial application of a permit can be used to report a change of name or address and request a replacement permit.

Note the use of the word "valid"
I don't really see the source language for this in the rules and regs, but the NSP must believe it is a requirement to have your current address on the permit for it to be considered valid.
In that case then technically one would be in violation of the law if carrying a concealed handgun with an invalid permit (incorrect address)
