COVID-19 / GP

The Firearms Licensing Department will be in contact with you as soon as we start to process your application. Before we contact you, unless absolutely necessary please do not make further enquiries with us about your application as this administration may cause further delays.

The advise for GP's to deprioritise providing medical information for firearms licensing while continuation of the vaccine roll-out takes place, has now ended. 

Also in line with Government guidance, due to COVID-19 variant ‘Omicron’, staff from the Firearms Licensing Department will be working from home where possible. With these ongoing restrictions in place, there will be significant delays in processing Firearm and Shotgun certificates, along with GP letters being received. Please be assured we are working to the best of our ability to provide you with the best possible service. Please continue to monitor our website for updates.
