Picking up my firearms from gun store

Post by starscream » 14 Feb 2019, 7:37 pm

Hi all, just got my paper license in the mail yesterday but no extract of license card. As i understand it i need both items in order to collect my firearms? Also how long does it usually take for the extract of license to come in the mail?

Thanks.

When i paid for my licence the other week and had my photo taken I was told approx 2 months to get my photo ID. I'm in SA
Easy come, easy go.

Only took a few days for the paper license. Is the card supposed to come at the same time as the paper license or are they sent separate?

If you are buying from a dealer they will tell you if the firearm can be released to you without the Shooter ID card.
