I am contacting you for an update for my Fire Arms License which will expire on 27 March 2021

I handed in my application for renewal on 11 November 2020 at Otahuhu Police Station with receipt of the paid renewal fee & renewal forms completed (attached)

Can you please give me an estimation of when the process of interviews will begin?

If the process can not be finished in time before my FAL expires, will I be given a temporary FAL so I can hunt in the forthcoming April ‘roar’ & waterfowl hunting season which begins in May?

Regards



This is the reply today......



I can confirm that we have received your renewal.

I cannot give an exact timeframe however can confirm that your file is being processed. A vettor should be in contact with you within the next month.

You will not be given a temporary license but must wait until you have received your new license card.




So my main reason for having a FAL in the first place, 'Roar' hunting in April/May and Duck hunting for the whole of May are now in their hands.....im fuked

Man that is so sucky!
The delays are deplorable and point to how those higher up the police food chain see us firearms owners.

Imagine the furore if drivers licence renewals were treated in the same manner!
