I'll update this post with other points as people list them.

• You'll need a recent proof of address, so download a bank statement or power bill before you start the process.
• Get someone to take a nice clear passport style photo of you before you start the process.
• Click on the Save button before you click the Next button, just in case.
• If your firearms license number has capitals, use capitals. Enter it online exactly as it is written on your license.
• Where it asks for your Doctors mobile number, ignore that and enter the landline number instead.

Hmmmm.....Okay....
Line 1 I didn't have to do
Line 2 I didn't have to do
Line 5 I didn't have to do
Am I missing something when I registered my firearms details online ?
I did log on through my "Real Me" account though.... Is that the difference ?
And I did get email Conformation that I had "Successfully submitted my form through MyFirearms" ???
