Application process

Application process

Your application will now be assessed by Weapons Licensing.

Applications are processed in order of receipt, after any mandatory waiting periods as required by the Weapons Act 1990 and Weapons Regulation 2016.  The time taken to collate, record, assess and finalise applications is dependent on several factors.

These factors can include the number of applications received each day, the complexity of the applications, the completeness of the application and the accuracy of information within the supporting documents.

A Weapons Licensing representative will contact you if any further information is required in relation to your application, after your application is assessed. Incomplete applications and applications which require further investigation may take longer to be processed.

If you have any questions about your application, please contact Weapons Licensing, quoting your application reference number.
