It seems, to me, not to be the local FO's fault.
They receive and process the application which is then sent off elsewhere for further processing and printing.
My local FOs are helpful people.
When my 16 year got his FAL for his birthday they gave us the licence number when we enquired a month before the printed copy arrived. Having his number was important as it meant I no longer had to actively supervise him on the range.
