Hey Guys, 

I put my completed SGC application into Gwent police HQ in September and payment was taken 3 days later. 
 

I new the wait time would be longer than normal due to covid but didn’t think i would still be waiting. 
 

I have sent them a email but just get told they working though a backlog and I just need wait. 
 

Is anyone else waiting for gwent police or have recently had the cert so I can workout how far down the line I am? 
 

Thanks in advance

I'd like to see one of the magazines shadowing a certificate grant through the process and report on how the grant makes it way round the system to conclusion, bet that whoud be interesting to  see where the delays are!

There wouldn’t be any delays!

Same here - but I am with Devon and Dorset.

 

Application submitted October 2020.

Got a call last month to say doctors letter was received.

I chased again this week and they said they are prioritising renewals and to wait. No timeline or ETA given.

 

 

 

I got my certificate last week, i had my doctors letter attached with the application in September 2020

Hopefully you wont have to wait much longer, i understand how frustrating it is waiting.
