Rousell Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 I'm not sure if anybody has come across this before but I've recieved my license through the post today after months of patiently waiting and they seem to have spelt my surname incorrectly. Does this mean my licence is invalid? If not Can this stop me from buying a shotgun this weekend? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Loads of forces have spelt my first name wrong over the years I ring them and tell them most say its fine but will replace it one even offer to do it for free LOL. It shouldn't stop you as the RFD will record that name but I think you should get it changed ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poontang Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Probably quicker and easier to change your name to what's printed on your certificate!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousell Posted December 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 To be fair they have only put a v instead of a u so I could probably get away with it lol. I'll call them Monday to see what they want me to do. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parapilot Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 Makes me wonder how they do all the security checks with a spelling error!! Maybe they will have to re check under new details??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 Technically the SGC cannot be valid as you are not the named person. I suspect that as it seems to be your regions fault they will deal with it by return, but normally you get a letter with it that says, Check it and sign it.... so its down to you to get it changed!

Rousell Posted December 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 I'm not too worried at the moment its not like I've got anything to hide from the checks they do. I'll just give them a call when the holidays over. I was tempted to ring the FEO but i don't really want to bother him over the christmas holidays unless anybody thinks I should?
