Fieldsports Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) Anyone got a rough estimate on how long Northumbria Police are taking to process a Shotgun Cert ? Edited January 3, 2014 by Fieldsports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) 7 days from email to European Firearms Pass turning up in post from Herts - yet again a superb service. Thames Valley were remarkably quick with mine as well, but the bottom line is they have NOTHING to do except get the office junior to write in the details you asked for and send it to you......and scan another shot of your ugly mug to stick on it! 28 pages and 6 years old now, is someone trying for a record on this thread? Edit Email request on mine as well! Edited January 3, 2014 by Dekers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fieldsports Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Had my interview Wed this week.He said that the application is a 10 week process so he could not say when my cert will arrive if my application is passed.Fingers crossed it will be quicker than 10 weeks.
