[h=1]Changes to Firearm and Shotgun Certificate applications from 3 September 2018[/h]
Share by emailNottinghamshire Police will soon require ‘medical declaration’ information to be verified by an applicant’s GP whenever an application for a new or renewed Firearms or Shotgun Certificate is made to the force.
This requirement affects all applications:
The information from your GP should be returned to Nottinghamshire Police’s Firearms Licensing department using the address provided on the template letter. The address for the force’s Firearms Licensing department is also available here.
[h=2]What you can do to avoid unnecessary delays with your application[/h]Nottinghamshire Police recommends you approach your GP prior to making your application.
If your GP requires Nottinghamshire Police to contact them before providing this information, please ensure that you contact Nottinghamshire Police as soon as possible to make them aware of this requirement so that the application can be processed within the eight-week period.
[h=2]Reminder: Honesty is the best policy[/h]Applicants are reminded that it is a criminal offence to make a dishonest declaration when providing information to support your application.
The fact you have a condition may not necessarily mean your application is refused. However, a false declaration could result in your application being refused, your existing license being revoked and your firearms or shotguns being seized.
Someone from BASC will be along in a minute (or never) and tell you not to pay it, as they are fighting for your case
