Did you have to do a new proforma and was that 18 months after you notified them of change of address or 18 months after you submitted your application?

We haven't got our FACs yet, it is in the process still 12 months down the line and it's looking like it will be delayed even further. So it's not a case of moving FACs, it's the applications which we are asking if they can be transferred to the new force.

Is that the FEO or the head of licencing at Leicestershire police? If the latter we don't know who that is as it was Nigel Rixon, but he left which caused the initial delay at the beginning of this year.

We have a firearms and shotgun application in with Leicestershire firearms. However it has now been nearly a year and we have just been told that the applications are going to be delayed even further. We had the inspection on 31st December 2025, and the FEO was really positive. However the...

I was just wondering whether to contact them again to see if there's a problem, or for all we know it may have been posted but got lost in the post

Thank you will contact BASC. I forgot to say that we're in Leicestershire, it would be interesting to know if all new applications are taking this long with them.

We do empathise with people waiting for their licenses. For reasons I won't go into, we reapplied for our licenses in sept 2023 but it's now been a year since we applied with no sign of the FAC yet, even though our referees have been contacted and we've had the inspection (29th April 2024). We...
