m3vert Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Police Scotland have just tweeted " from 20/5/14 an amended form must be completed if you're applying/renewing a shotgun/firearm certificate" details to follow tomorrow. Does anyone have any idea whats being changed?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Probably a section for air guns. Sorry no idea, but would be good to know as I renew next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shotgun sam Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 All we need now is someone to make an editable version of this new form Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grrclark Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 The only difference I can see at first viewing is that the requirement to sign each page has been removed. When my wife applied with the new form the FEO wasn't sure if she had to sign every page, even if it was blank and not applicable. She didn't sign the blank pages initially and the FEO had to pop into her work to get her to sign after the event otherwise they could not process. Seemed a bit stupid, so could be just a simplification of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotgun sam Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 I have spoken to SACS and the new form (Application grants/Renewals) are for the whole of the UK as the previous one had a lot of faults/errors in the Statutory Instrument and due to the nature of this legislation a new Statutory Instrument is required to make the necessary amendments legal. See link for relevant Statutory Instrument. Sam http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2014/1239/made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
