wokkywokky Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 I getting there with the FAC application. Im hoping this is the last question before I post it off. I already have SGC which expires sometime in 2019. I would like both my SGC and FAC to expire both at the same time (this should save me a few quid rather than dealing with each certificate separately every 5 years). My question is how do I get this across on my FAC application? Should I make this application a grant application for both shotgun and firearm or should it be a grant for firearm and renewal for shotgun? I have listed the shotguns I currently hold and on the additional notes page included details of my current SGC. Please advise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landy george Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 I already had a SGC & he asked me when he turned up for the interview, if I wanted to have them both on the same start date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wokkywokky Posted May 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 George, does that mean that your FAC had a shorter time on it to align it to the same start date as your SGC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshie Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 You can only change your tickets to coterminous when your FAC is due for renewal, or you are applying for one, not the other way round. On the application form, at the top there should be a box to tick saying "Do you wish to apply for a SGC that will expire at the same time as your FAC?" or words to that effect.

wokkywokky Posted May 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Walshie, so if I have understood you correctly as I am applying for my FAC I can request for my SGC to expire at the same time as my FAC? I can see the question at the top of the form as you stated, should I also be selecting any boxes for the grant or renewal of SGC, or do I just select the coterminous box alone?

walshie Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) Yes, on a grant for FAC you can apply to change your SGC to coterminous, I THINK you should tick the box for renewal of SGC and fill in the relevant boxes as if you are putting in a renewal form. In effect, you are extending the life of your SGC by 2 years. Might be worth clarifying that part with your firearms team as it's a lot of form filling if you don't need to.

wokkywokky Posted May 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Thanks Walshie, coterminous and SGC renewal to be ticked I think that's my form completed now. Will be sending off recorded delivery tomorrow afternoon. Lets see how long Beds and Herts will take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
