3 year FAC

Not sure I see too much of a problem here? They can definitely ask if you would be willing to renew early, doesn't mean youd have to
To me it sounds as though they are expecting the renewals to be high when the actual renewal is due and are trying to get in front of it

So, you are going to have to pay for a medical form that will only be used for three years, and then you'll have to do it again? And pay again.
Why don't they offer it for 6 - 8 years instead?
And bear in mind they are saying they need to balance out something from 30 years ago, makes you wonder how long they will use C19 as the next lump they have to smooth out.

West Mercia did this a few years ago, uptake was good. People are prone to complain about waiting times for renewals, why be cynical about a scheme designed to reduce them?
Because they can't increase the life of a certificate, but they can renew it early.
Were GP reports required back then?
This may be good for the police but just put extra work on the GPs.
Then what will the fee for a certificate be in three years if or rather when full cost recovery comes in £500?

Can they reduce the cost of an application though, as I thought that was set by the Home Office.
The Chief Constable could allocate sufficient resources to get the job done in a timely manner, and then when it eases off in the 2 years that they are saying are quieter, they could get ahead. Nah, they'd never go for that one...
I had my shotgun certificate renewed early when being granted my fac, this made it easier from an admin standpoint by for the police and me, it's a similar thing, if they don't want to accept it they don't have to, but you can bet there will be complaints at renewal time if things are delayed
As said they have had nearly 30 years to sort it out, unbelievable really.
guess you went coterminous to save yourself some money and the likely need of just one GP report.
And the hassle of having them running at different times, but it wasn't my suggestion it was by the police. It's the same thing, renewing earlier to make things easier down the line
Except that would put you back in the high demand period
@Conor O'Gorman are you aware of this?
Ask for a 6-year renewal.
