Thread: Firearms licence waiting times

I just did my renewal early after hearing about these delays. I am not due for renewal for a few months yet (Expires september) but the way this year has vanished so far, september is ot that far away.....And the vetting officer informs me that my new license will still be dated from the expiry date on the old one. I guess I will find out when it gets here....

Sorry to tell you it won't be dated from the expiry date, I got in early too because of the delays and mine didn't run out until July 2017 however my new one is dated from the end of March so I lost 4 months

Ask your AO to have a new licence sent to you with the correct expiry date on it.

I spoke to the AO yesterday and he assurred me that because I applied within 6 months of the expiry that the new period starts at the date of my old expiry. So the new license will expire 10 years from the date of my old expiry date.
