Hi all,
First off, apologies, as I know this has probably been asked before, however I cannot find an answer to my specific question by searching.
I have completed the firearms course through SSAA Vic and am currently completing my application on Victoria Police's eServices website.
I have acquired all documents required for ID (birth cert, Medicare card, council rates, and a few other documents) and have had these certified by a local JP, however, reading the Victoria Police website, it states that the person certifying these documents (JP) also needs to be the person that knows you for 12+ months. Can someone advise if a JP can sign 12+ months when you've only known them 1 day - the problem I have is the GP clinic I go to has many doctors and they run under their own ABN and I will just go to any doctor within the clinic when I am sick. When I asked them to sign/certify, I was advised they can't because the doctors haven't known me for 12+ months despite them working in the same clinic.
Am I also supposed to provide a 'referee' for good character, or is this apart of the ID part - can a JP be used, even though they won't know me from a bar of soap?
I'm so confused. Lol.
Cheers all!
