i applied for my fac & scg together and it took 1 month from date of posting off to getting my certs. i live on the west coast, strathclyde police dept. i would think that you are waiting a bit long now. i think you should phone them i have spoken to them at pitt street a few times and they are great.

good luck

A mate in Kilmarnock has said that he was contacted about a visit around 2 weeks after sending in his forms. I'm also in Kilmarnock and sent my forms off just over a week ago, so hoping they are as quick with me.

 

It wont do any harm to make a call mate. I spoke to Pitt street when filling in the forms and they were very helpful.

 

Let us know how it goes, like wise if I hear anything then I will let you know.

I certainly would ask or pester them!! as to how long it takes? As a public body they have an obligation to answer any reasonable request from any member of the public

Hi.

 

If you have not heard from them since Feb then I would call and ask how its going. Most of the time you should hear from the firearms enquiry officer to arrange a visit to see you normally within a month. If you havent heard then make sure it hasn't gone missing. Most departments are more than willing to help people out by answering questions. I phoned up about my firearms certificate to say it was gonna take another 8 weeks to print...I got it within two weeks.

 

Good luck.

yes wont do no harm in phoning them and politely asking about your visit mite even speed it up

 

i phone and ask them if i have been waiting for my fac to return and there more the helpful. when you get it the odd tin of sweets taken round to the hq if your not to far from them helps if you want anything in the future
