Before the amnesty started there were people getting them back in 6-8 weeks. Would be good for those waiting if they get back to those time frames. :thumbsup:

29th June still waiting. Have had the email but nothing in the mail yet.
I had submitted PTA's not long after the application, all PTA's have been faxed to the dealers.
Just waiting on the damn physical licence. Been away on holidays for a few weeks, though it'd be here for sure. Will have to call Monday.

Not to be rude or anything but did you have any convictions or criminal records? Or did you apply when waiting times were horrendous?

Hey Mate

Had no convictions had an old charge from over 10 years ago and a pretty average traffic history when I was a teenager lol applied online 17/07/2017 spoke to to weapons licenceing at the Shot Expo and they said 13 weeks was about average. I did speak to one of the gun shops who said it had blown out after shot expo as they had heaps pf new licence applications also.

I got a call regarding mine (lodged 25/07) apparently was missing the safty course document which I know i uploaded it as i doubled checked everything...and email confirmation showed it.

Anyway had to resend it in and she said once the "data team" process the email she will process the application and will check on it in a few days... as thats all it was waiting on. So hopefully its not far off now.

Hi all, does anyone have any idea if you can contact them to go and pick up the licence rather than have it posted, to try and speed it up

I don't know I doubt they would let you, I rang today to see if mine had been sent yet as I am inpatient, they couldn't tell me if it had been posted yet and they said they company that makes them only prints on certain days and wait another 2 weeks before calling back. So I don't even think they print them in house
