Penfolio Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Just send a letter/email to their usual contact address stating your name, cert number, old and new addresses and a phone number. Tell 'em which date you are moving in/moved in and expect a call to arrange a visit to check your new security arrangements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penfolio Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 P.S. I'm sure that they'd prefer it if you also posted 'em your certificate but, of course, whilst they're sitting on their thumbs, you'll need that to prove ownership and buy cartridges.

Gerry31 Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 No need to post your cert they may even not issue a new one until is due for renewal. I moved from Derbyshire t Lancashire and still have my old cert but am now registered in lancs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subsonicnat Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Moved some years back, just inform your "Present FAO" : He will send your details to your new area::: if of course you are "STILL" in your own catchement area, you will still have to INFORM your "PRESENT" FAO of your change of surcumstances anyway, otherwise you WILL be outside of the LAW: ALL the information the retain on you HAS to be correct, if you WAIT till its due, you may find you have no licence to bother about..

Gerry31 Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Sorry if I didn't make it clear yes ofcourse you must inform the relevant people but you dont need to send you cert in. The FEO will possibly come to see your new location and will then inform you about your paperwork. As I said previously I still have my Derbyshire certs but am now in lancs.

What you have to do is written on the front of your certificate. It simply states "The holder of the certificate must, without undue delay, inform the chief officer of police by whom the certificate was granted of any change in his permanent address". That's all you have to do. No sending your cert back, no 7 days mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I have to say I've done it twice this year and just sent a letter in once moved with my certs and within a week had the new ones back. Mine also just call to check security arrangements etc and that you have fixed it to the wall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonathanL Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 The requirement is contained in the standard conditions applies to the certificate. It requires that you inform the chief officer who granted the certificate of your change of address without undue delay. You do not need to notify anyone else. J.

Muddy Funker Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) I moved from Surrey to West Sussex a couple of years ago. I made sure on the day in question the cabinet could be unbolted, moved then bolted back at the new address. Then I notified Surrey, I seem to remember they wanted the original back and told me to use a copy, don't quote me on that. It actually took a while before Sussex made contact and sent someone round to check safe, but now I have a cert issued by Sussex. It was no bother, as long as it's bolted up and you tell them where they're happy Edited July 31, 2012 by Muddy Funker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
