John MH Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 Just received my renewed FAC, submitted renewal application online in February 12 weeks before expiry. I did receive letter extending the expiry date by 8 weeks until end of June but the new FAC has arrived 3 days before the old expires. D&C seem to have caught up on their backlog.

DeLaRue Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 Good morning All…. Whilst I understand that many shooters quite rightly complain as to the length of time some constabularies are taking to process applications & renewals etc; when it all goes well I believe you should say so too…. I applied for a variation with the MET online on the 1st of February & received my FAC back on the 12th of February, that’s effectively 6 working days. I wrote to thank them & received a very courteous reply......👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeLaRue Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 Hi John....No, I totally realise that & sorry if you feel that my post implied that you were, clearly you were not complaining!...my post was intended to point out that it's not all bad news that's all! 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martin_b Posted July 8 Report Share Posted July 8 Surrey are now saying in thier email auto-reply that they are experiencing " a severe backlog". I Im now 29 weeks into the renewal process and haven't had a call from my FEO yet about a home visit. On a brighter note the office staff have been very helpful and I've got my 8 week extension and now my section 7 temporary permit without any problems. I put no blame on the staff, I just think there aren't enough of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
