How long does it take to approve my licence application?
There is a legislative requirement that a New Firearm Licence Application cannot be issued until 28 days has passed from the date of receipt. A determination on a Renewal Licence Application will be made within 14 days of receipt. Applications that are not completed in full, or are missing supporting documentation, will be returned for corrective action or you will be sent a letter asking you to address the issues which will delay your application being approved. If Licensing Services Division receives your renewal application after your licence’s expiry date, it will be treated as a new application and therefore the 28 day waiting period will apply. You are now unlicensed therefore you are required to dispose of all firearms in your possession. With all applications please read the instruction pages attached to the back of the application carefully to avoid any delays.
