The first statement they make - " The inclusion of licence holders’ personal and licence details in the Firearms Registry is a necessary first step before the Registry can begin recording details of the arms items you hold. These need to be recorded against the licence holder along with endorsements held."
This is incorrect. What they need is only your licence number. Your details are all linked in the police system anyway, and adding all your details makes your safety and privacy very vulnerable indeed. Anyone querying the firearms database needs to first access your FAL number via the Police computer system and then use your FAL number to see what firearms are registered. Does that make sense? Think of the missing name,
address and phone number as an additional line of defence.

Good points
I will submit this too and the point made by someone else about cyrillic characters eg on a Mosin


As with everyone else, it is an absolute boondoggle but that is not what this thread is about
