Are you joking? I don't have any criminal records at all or anything to do with the cops, I'm fit and proper. I've read other people have had there Id checks on the early stages like me as well.

its hard to say your best bet would be give them a ring or flick them an email you might get a deacent answer if your lucky.

got my id check done today sent a copy of the completed forms to weapons applications today so they know its been done.
also rang up and the lady put a note on my application it had been done and she said they were going to continue processing :)

normally it would be when they do your id check, but in your case I'm not to sure and they can get a little bit upset if u call up before 12 weeks, otherwise the way to find out would be to ring up and they'll tell you if its being processed or not, called up about my PTA for my 308 their gonna fax it to QGE for me next thursday which works in awesome cuz I'm working all week until friday...gotta wait for my 30/30 pat tho still has a 28 day wait won't be ready until the 17th of next month

they ask if you could refrain from calling before 12 weeks, its all pretty straight foreword if u sent all the paper work in it'll pretty much get done when it gets done they have gotten a little bit faster and having already done your id check, id be prepared to wait untill the 12 week mark but if it gets there any sooner its a bonus, just ring them up and tell them you've already done your id check and are just wondering things are at every time iv rang them iv found being as polite as possible they seem fine to talk to except for today with this crabby lady that answered but i called another 2 times and had more than helpful people both times, just say to them that the id checks been done and you were wondering how much longer its going to be and then they'll probably tell you what dates their up too

I applied on 18th August - just received my PTA and license in the post. 7 Weeks total which I think would have been 6 if I didn't wait a week to go and do the ID check.
