Adding Genuine Reason - Hunting CAT A/B

Post by tb65 » 05 Sep 2023, 11:35 am

Does anyone know how long it is taking to add hunting (vermin control) as a genuine reason to an existing CAT A/B target licence?

I guess it depends on who answers the phone but in my recent licence renewal where the online application failed to work they were very helpful in assisting me to lodge a paperwork application and I got my my new licence within 10 days . So I can't complain .

In case anyone else out there is wondering, it was approved today so that's about 4 weeks from date of application

It's possible that those kind of applications are put behind licence renewals and new licences .
