Gun licence application waiting time

[Scaldie]

Hey all new to this forum, just wanted to ask how long have some of you waited to get your gun licence for class A/B, now that the applications are all done online? I know there’s a post on here from about One or two years ago, and I couldn’t find anything recent, but just wanted to see if waiting times have changed since they changed to the online system?

There is another conversation titled "NSW new licence application how long?". The Firearms Registry Performance Dashboard only gives average processing time for each month. You will see in the conversation thread that there is quite a spread in days. 60 days is the lowest this year while some guy has been waiting over 230 days. I don't know if the days on the performance dashboard are the number of days from application to issue of licence card or if they are from application to approval date when the status is changed to "referred to Service NSW".

I think my post is the most recent on there. Have copied and updated for you here....

Category A/B application submitted July 27.
Probationary Pistol Licence application submitted August 14.
Status on both changed to "referred to Service NSW" on October 10. That's 75 days for Cat A/B and 44 days for pistol.
Photo letter arrived October 20
Photo taken October 21
Status changed to Valid October 24

Yes, both the A/B and probationary pistol licences are both showing as "valid" as of today. The probationary pistol licence is separate to the A/B and is only valid for 12 months
