Not exactly. The questions are answered on the laptop at the time of the interview however, the vetter has to do a detailed report with a recommendation of every person interviewed in a firearm licence application for a new or renewal licence. That is normally done at night or on the vettor's days off if they have someting else on in the evening. New pistol and restricted licences take a lot longer because of the extra referees and the recording of serial numbers.
