Quickest license yet for me.

clivej

I can't believe it the letter for payment came in the post today. That's the fastest yet. Put in on the 22nd of December so that's only a few days if you take out all the holiday days.

Happy days ahead.

It took me one working day for a sub. Applied on wednesday I had the sub license on the Friday. It will depend on when the FO is in and that's Sunday and Wednesday evenings only

The city station with a FO on duty a couple of times a week. But as aways every new license application must go up to the Super to get signed off.
Well done KK firearms section and all involved my thanks to you all.

virminhunter

I'm the same clive, I got a letter saying my firearm application has been recieved and that I'd hear from them within 3 months on the 3rd(monday) and I got the approval/payment letter yesterday(6th) only 3 days, I couldnt believe it:D under the old system I always had to wait three months to the day before I'd get a licence, its like it was approved but they were waiting the 3 months onpurpose before they'd send it to me.

243Xpress

That gives me hope that i will get out for a shot before the season closes as i

Being from Beretta I'm sure it will be a great gun. They have been doing this for 500 years and don't screw up to often.

dbroe333

coillsaille

Handed the form in for my first license (shotgun) on Jan 7th and both the letter saying application had been received and the grant notice arrived together today!:D

nice one ..what type of gun you getting

coillsaille

Mate of mine is giving me his Warnants single barrell (30") as a kinda of beginners gun for the first year. Its nearly an antique I reckon, he's not even sure how old it is cos he got it 2nd hand from another fella years ago. Anyway its never let him down and is a tough old thing. It will do me till I get some practice in (will have to make do with crows and maggers now season is nearly over) and then will prob upgrade to a side by side.

samfjohnston

I applied for a 1st time rifle license on the 7th Jan (have shotgun license for about 8 years) and got the 2 letters the one day (yesterday). Anyway i went to the post office and handed in my €80. The guy told me my license would come in the post in approx 2 weeks time.
Have i to wait for another 2 weeks or can i collect my rifle using the receipt from the post office?
I tried ringing the dealer i bought from to find out but didn't get an answer and the curiousity and excitement is getting the better of me!!

coillsaille

2 weeks??:eek:

It says 7 working days on the grant notice and some of the posters on this forum say they got license 3 days after paying the E80.

dCorbus

Once you have paid the €80 licence fee down the post office, you should recieve your actual FAC in the post within 3 days to one week (this will obviously depend on how fast they print and post the FAC document and how fast your local post office works).

It says 7 working days on the grant notice

Not on any of mine it didn't - It just said the FAC will "be forwarded directly" to me by post, upon payment of the fee.

Have i to wait for another 2 weeks

Unless there's a cock-up along the line, it shouldn't take that long in reality. A couple of days and you should have the FAC in your hands. Patience, Glasshopper!;):D

can i collect my rifle using the receipt from the post office?

No, you must have your FAC. The Grant letter is only that. And your reciept is only that. Together they do not constitute an FAC. You'll have to wait til that comes.

That said, I've heard some lads saying that they have been able to pick up their firearms from their "friendly" RFD on presentation of just the Grant Letter and their Reciept. IMO that's not something I'd do - If stopped, you have no FAC to show and thusly are breaking the law and risking your licences.

Wait out the couple of days with the patience of Job.

In the Manner of Payment section on grant notice it clearly states:

"Allow 7 working days from the day you post your payment until you receive your Firearm Certificate."

I stand corrected. Thanks for that. Just re-checked. You're correct. I was wrong. Apologies!:o

It does in fact state that you should allow 7 working days.



It pays to re-read the small print

Especially when the small print is good news for once!:)

Thanks for the answers! Will just have to wait until next weekend:(

No6

Just got my Grant Notice letter for my .270 in todays post, I gave it to the Guard on the 17th, it only took them 8 days, off to the post office now, I might get me a deer before the end of the season!!!:D

lefthooker

Probably not a record but I'm well impressed with how quick things got sorted.

Handed in my application to the local station Sat 12th March.
Got the letter acknowledging receipt from the supers office Wed 16th.
Letter of approval & payment came Mon 21st.
License arrived today, 23rd.

Now i just need to be patient & wait for the dealer to ring & say my new HMR has arrived:)
