NSW PTA Wait time?

Post by Jon79 » 26 Feb 2018, 12:21 pm

just wondering what the normal time frame is for PTA's to show up on the registry? I sent my first couple off on the 1st of Feb and logged on today to see if they had shown up yet but still nothing there 26 days later... is this normal or should they have shown up long ago??

Your first PTA will take longer than Normal how did you pay by credit card look at you statement as to when they deducted the $$$ then add 28 days wait for you first then about 14 for each way postage (plus a few days for the dont care factor sorry were backed up ) they are not in a hurry . just keep your eye on this site

Mystery solved..... they were returned in the mail, apparently they arrived before my licence was valid so we’re returned ( will have to check dates Aus Post must have really pulled their finger out that week)

You’re keen.

They should show up as ‘PTA Application being processed by the Firearms Registry’ about a week after you post them off.

I’ve actually had an issue with mail getting lost to the registry so always send express post, which includes tracking.

Based on their currently backlog it seems I’ll be waiting over a month to get the issued PTA in the post - application date of 12/02.
