landy george Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 Mine was due in September so put in for it very early, only took 2 weeks from start to finish in Essex. Did it on-line, the only problem it kept crashing & you have to start from the beginning again......................4 times Two phone calls on the same days, turned up in the post. Excellent service.

So it takes a pandemic to show them just how they can and should be doing the job, renewals without a visit and no doctors report. bet they revert back to their old ways once Normality returns.

I already had the doctors report done a couple of weeks beforehand & I live in a small village so the doctors are on our side & used to country life.

Vince Green Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Had my FAC renewed during lockdown, phone interview and send them photos of my serial numbers. easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aister Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 I had my renewal done a couple of weeks ago, all done through a few emails and a couple of phone calls. Very well done, just awaiting the certificate in the post. This was Police Scotland as I am in Shetland. More than once he apologised that he couldn't deal with my variation but that is understandable at the moment. Good luck with yours, hope it goes as smooth as mine did.
