steve_b_wales Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 I have recently received renewal application forms for my firearms/shotguns. Reading the notes about completing the forms, it states, 'In the case of an application for renewal of a shotgun certificate,the current certificate or a signed and dated copy should be included with the application'. I have never had to do this before, and intend to check this out with BASC tomorrow morning. Has anyone else had the same request? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safc1973 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Yes. I applied for FAC last year and wanted my SGC to be coterminous so sent in a signed & dated copy with the application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 My certificates are coterminous already. Never had to send shotgun certificate/copy of it before. As mentioned, I will inform BASC tomorrow morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1steele Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 They may ask for you to send in your old certificates at renewal but it is not a legal requirement. By all means send a copy but I wouldn't send your original certificates, you may need them for purchases or for producing when asked (69Chris, the receipt that you had is worthless as they can insist on seeing your actual FAC/SGC because that is the only legal document).

Bobba Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 They may ask for you to send in your old certificates at renewal but it is not a legal requirement. Avon and Somerset required me to return old cert on receipt on new cert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted February 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 I found it strange that they only want my shotgun certificate (or copy of) and not my FAC. I will send them the copy, but will still inform BASC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
