Application information
Photographs
It is a requirement that all applications for grants and renewals of shotgun and firearm certificates are accompanied by four identical photographs of the applicant.
If applying for co-terminous grant/renewal, eight photographs need to be supplied
The photograph must have been taken recently and should show you full face, without a hat
The image should be printed on normal thin photographic paper, be un-mounted and measure 45mm x 35mm
The normal photographs which are supplied for passports, either from a photographic booth or studio are acceptable.
In the case of shotgun applications:
One of the photographs should be signed in ink, on the back, with the applicant’s usual signature
One other photograph must be endorsed by your counter signatory in ink, on the back, with the following words: “I certify that this is a current true likeness of (insert name of applicant)”. He/she should then sign the declaration and insert the date the likeness was compared.
In the case of firearm applications
One of the photographs should be signed in ink, on the back, with the applicant’s usual signature
Two other photographs must be endorsed, one each¸ by each of the two referees, in ink, on the back, with the following words: “I certify that this is a current true likeness of (insert name of applicant)”. He/she should then sign the declaration and insert the date the likeness was compared.
In all cases
Please be sure to include ALL FOUR photographs, as many applications are received with either no photographs or only one or two.
