Next Tuesday.

Just did my renewal, only hard part was finding a passport type photo for your profile!

Just create a profile, upload copy of firearms license, tick a few boxes, fill out last years numbers and done. Took about 10 minutes ( only delay is due to looking for copies of photo and license)

Much quicker and easier than the paper version. Be interesting to see how long before the license is issued. I'll update when received.

I can't seem to enter the number of deer in the returns section. And thus I can't get past that stage. Anyone similar?

Edit...seems to be working now

Same for me Alpha, I'm getting a quick "forbidden " message followed by "This file has been rejected".

Tried, png and Adobe scans all failing.

Uploading docs, wasn't working yesterday from my phone, but worked this evening.

Has anyone had an outcome at this point?

I had thought that with it all being online and presumably straight into the data base, that responses would be very quick (allowing that all the required documents & photo are provided), particularly for those of us who are applying for a renewal. I know we've plenty of time in hand and our current DHL does not expire until the 31 July. I thought the entire point of setting up the new system was to take advantage of current technology and thereby increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the system, foolish of me I know.😒

Are we required to have an entry for each species on the list? As in, 0's for anything that wasn't shot.

I tried to complete the application earlier. I added the numbers for each category but it believes that I'm a first time applicant for some reason even though I clicked Renewal. And I can't delete the draft application and start again. It's not a very well thought out system. I'll have to try to call them tomorrow.

I spoke to NPWS twice. They are limited as they do not have access to system. For my profile,I uploaded a selfie taken on my phone, cropped it. I received notification on the portal that I had not submitted reverse of my license. I only filled out returns for deer I harvested. Left everything else blank. That was the only problem they said occurred with application. Still no license.

still haven’t fixed mine. Managed to get it in within 20 mins of it going live but it had the errors when uploading the info. Waiting on a response to amend it but haven’t heard a word yet.

Took me a while. Seemed a bit clunky, or maybe my processing speed was a bit 🤮. First instruction was load a photo, couldn't get it to work???? No click here to load photo??? But all done. Will be much easier a 2nd time.

To be honest, I know the system has had issues and there is a learning curve for us to use it, but overall I do think it is / will be easier to use. (Once the teething issues are resolved).

The registration is done now, so (unless they need more information at a later date), we won't have to do that part again.

Obviously this year they have to deal with potentially high number of technical cases, as well as general questions from users, along with actually processing the licences, which is also new to them. So, I would expect turn around time to be higher than it will be in the future and we've still plenty of time before the season opens so I'm not bothered if it takes a few weeks.
