Thread: FAL application turn around time frames

Wide and I sent our applications in on the 27th May. Got a call to set up the interviews on the 27th July - 8 weeks to the day. Interview the following week and 10 days later the plastic arrived in the mail. Job done.

Sounds like they're catching up on things but having a 5 year licence period for the newbies will put the pressure back on them in another 18 months from now.

Good point @Joe_90 - appreciate the opportunity to correct this for the sake of prosperity and a longer lifespan. It should of course read "Wife".

Based in Tauranga. New License.

27/06/2023 - Applied online
11/09/2023 - Recieved License card in mail

11 weeks in total - basically 3 months

It seems that quite a few areas have got their act together at last which is great for those of us who live in those areas, as for the others....sorry about that lol

Quick question: Just received an email asking me to pick up my new license from the North shore Police station.....
Have they changed the system re posting your license out to you?
I note that from some of the answers in this thread, some of you received your license in the mail.
