Thread: FAL renewal

They warned me that there was a delay in getting them processed and others I spoke to said allow 3 - 5 months. So I allowed 3 months and applied for a Sept renewal in July. They had it sorted inside 4 weeks and I got mine back in early August with a July expiry. Bastards docked me two months for being prepared.....

You can ask for and should receive a new licence with the correct expiration date.

I did ask and had a thorough discussion with the lady in charge and they said that they post date it up to a month, but to give me the full length would mean my next license was 10 years and three months which is too long between checks.....

You say got it sorted within 4 weeks - was that 4 weeks after the visit from the person interviewing you or 4 weeks from the start of the process?

Mine has been 2 weeks of waiting now and need it pronto

Four weeks from submitting the paperwork. Probably closer to three. The visit from the vettor was arranged inside the week from submitting, and the visit the following week. License arrived around 10 days later. Workmate applied for his , took two weeks for the vettor and 10 WEEKs later he was still awaiting his license....Due to compete (shotgun) in Aussie about a month after that... and was getting very worried.
