Sion2981 Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) 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 Edited July 31, 2021 by Sion2981 Didn’t mention what application I sent in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sion2981 Posted August 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 Yer that’s problem it’s not a priority for them when they have renewals and variations to deal with. I just hope that I’m not too far down the list and get a call soon to arrange my interview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they work part time in the firearms department in some areas that don't help. Just need to keep my fingers crossed that i get a call soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorsecore Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 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.
