I applied for a pta on the 23/2 and got the approval email at 8am on Sunday the 11/3.

I found that odd as I’ve never had any correspondence on a weekend before.

I'm still patiently waiting on my Cat H approval, reading some of the recent license approvals it's looking like i should be expecting it in the next week if WLQ keep up their pace.

Hi, im a new member, this is my first post.
i submitted my new licence application on the 10/2/2018. i got the confirmation email and I've been charged but i haven't got any information regarding an id check or anything like that. Is that something i need to get done myself? or should i be waiting to hear back from them about this? Also submitted my PTA the day after (11/2/2018) roughly how long am i looking at before i am able to pick up my gun? ive been reading roughly 12-15 weeks, is that still how long its been taking for everyone else?

thanks.

First :welcome: :drinks:
Around twelve weeks seems to be average at the moment. Wlb will send ya an email when they want ya to go and provide id . For some it's only a day after they get the application for others it takes weeks or even months.
Welcome to the waiting game!! :lol: :drinks:
Ya first pta will have a 28 day wait plus however long it takes for them to process ya license application. Don't worry until ya hit twelve weeks. Wlb will just tell ya to ring after twelve weeks have passed!! :drinks:

Applied for PTA: 01/3/18
Approved: 19/3/18
Told it will be Faxed to dealer on or about 30/03/18

Tip for young players, direct from Weapons Licensing - next time don't put the serial number on the application, it only slows down the processing.

How did they reach out to you for your ID check? I submitted my Licence Application 14 days after you but haven't heard anything from them since.

I know a couple of people recently who waited 13 weeks to get an id check then got there license approval within 24 hours of submitting it. Unfortunately it's a bit of a lottery. :lol: :lol: :drinks: :drinks:
