Give it 24 to 48 hrs for Service NSW and NSW Police to get their data sync'd up, you'll be able to apply after that.

I’d suggest getting there sooner if you want to move things along. As soon as I get the referred to service nsw letter I will be there the next day getting my photo done.

I received my firearms license card from Service NSW last Wednesday 16th Oct.
The status on the online public registry is still '...not authorized for firearms' and can not put a PTA application.
Emailed them twice but no response.
Called firearms registry department yesterday. Lady was very kind and checked the system for the issue was;
whoever print my license card at Service NSW printing department forgot to click the 'posted out box' on the computer that turns the license status 'valid'.
She suggested me to visit Service NSW and also she opened a case to solve the problem.
I visited Service NSW and spent 40mins with them but all the people at the center were clueless.
I called firearms registry back, luckily same lady answered the phone. Result is; I have to wait 10 MORE days (on top of 3.5 months) for them to sort out the issue.
It's really frustrating.
