Applied online for A/B 27/06/20, completed ID check and photograph at post office 30/06/20.
Applied online for 2 PTAs 16/07/20.
Currently at 7 weeks since post office visit, obviously still waiting patiently.
I'm taking advantage of the wait by using it to lay-by the 2 firearms I'll be acquiring when the licence and PTAs come through. Almost paid them off in full, so I'll still have some time to put money aside for ammo, optics and other bits and bobs.

Also a new member & amazingly im exactly 1 week behind you with all dates. Be sure to keep us updated, as I'm be curious to see the sequences.
When I submitted my PTA the sales bloke at the gun shop said he had one post COVID lockdown fella get his license in 5 weeks

Still waiting for the email approval for the PTAs I submitted for him.
They must be processing applications out of order because some of you guys are reporting more than 20 weeks wait for A/B.

Applied 13/2/20, hopefully the next two weeks will go quickly and they’ll appeove the 4 PTAs I put in 6 months ago too.

Recieved email for ID Check 29th July.
Received email for application approval 26th August.
No just waiting for the card and the 2×PTA.
Went in and put down some cash on a Stainless Savage A22R and a Howa 1500 mini action in .223, can't wait to pickup!
Evidence points to being that every time I called, a couple of days later I had some progress....

That seems like a huge delay in the ID check email ? I got my ID email the day after submitting my application & was fortunate enough to attend the post office the same day........ Still waiting though

That makes it 10 weeks and 1 day since the ID check was completed.
So now we'll see how long until the physical licence arrives (a week or 2?), and no word on the 2 PTAs as yet. But pretty happy with the timeframe considering Covid, weapons switching to a new application process and reading some other member's waittimes.HankScorpio wrote:New member, thought I'd add my situation to the data:

Makes me wonder how many they actually process a day given im only week behind you in lodging, this is encouraging given that the 28 days on my PTA is up this Saturday

Any answers from WL yet ? Either there is something wrong with your application or it has be lost ? If neither then there is no way they process them in order.
