During the waiting phase I received an email from the WA Police force telling me that I was pre-approved, looking at my application on-line it was waiting for details from me.
I filled in the forms, photocopied the receipt for the safe and took plenty of pictures.
I took pictures of the safes location , the screws/washers holding one side to the wall , the screws/washers holding the other side to the wall , the locking mechanism and held a ruler up to one of the washers showing it's size. Every picture had a small note under it informing the officer what I was showing e.g. "Safe Bottom 4 mounting points"
Everything was scanned to a PDF and emailed back to the Police officer thanking them and telling them that should they need more information please let me know.
Waited another couple of weeks and it got approved, another week for my paper firearms license and one more week for my firearms identification card.
The wait seemed a long time for me , but it seems that other states have it a lot worse.
