Oh yeah, I'd better give them a buzz!
I went to call right on 12 weeks but the voice recorded message kinda made me concede and hang up.

So I ended up calling up yesterday at about 9:30am.
Bloke was super understanding and said he'd get it sorted for me asap.
Got the ID check email today and just dropped into the station and did it.
Hopefully the rest of the process is a bit quicker!

I had previously called up on a Tuesday and the lady couldn't tell me much but told me that the proper new applications people only answer calls on a Thursday. Called back Thursday and he was really helpful.

Hi all, new member here. Seeing some of the wait times makes mine seem ridiculous.
Applied for cat A/B 5-12-17. Still no ID check.
My father who lives with me applied a week after me and was licensed by February.
I'm just about to hit the 9 month waiting mark hahah

Im just speculating patriot...Were you found guilty and given a criminal conviction? If so and u declared it i wouldnt think so. If not... Then it might.

hey mate, it may be like mine. it was 12 weeks before i got ID check, then 2 weeks for plastic. however, i bought a 223 rifle from a shop for delivery to my house and i got the gun before i got the plastic. the documentation that came with the gun had my license number on it.

Ran into someone today who only got their letter of approval to join a pistol club after 8 months. Hate to see how long their lic will take after their 6 month probie. :shock:

It just means it has to be printed. They say the same thing when you get a PTA approved.

Their quality assurance isn't that great. My dealer got his new card one year with my brother's photo (he is a dealer's associate) on it :lol:
