It is not my fault that the police officer who assisted me at the time did not include all the relevant paperwork as this was handed in to them. Where do I go from here?? I have sent an appeal to the chairperson at the firearm department to advise that all documents were handed in at the time I applied for my licence but still waiting for their reply. Please can you give me some advice? Kind regards Good morning,

Given the ruling/pending ruling, do I have to continue with the process, or does my Green Licence cover me? (If so, do I go to my local Police Station?) Your help would be appreciated. Or where should I go to find out? Regards Pieter Hi there,

I have an old green license, but had to apply for new license+competency very soon (born in March)

My competency certificate is going to expire now on 2012-01-29.

Given the ruling/pending ruling, do I have to continue with the process, or does my Green Licence cover me? (If so, do I go to my local Police Station?)

Your help would be appreciated.

Or where should I go to find out?

Regards
Pieter

I have been waiting for the refusal letters but nothing is arriving in the mail. I was advised that it can also be faxed to me however when I phone the call centre they put me from one person to the next where I spend an hour on the phone with no result. Can anybody help me and advise what I can do to at least get a copy of my refusal letter so that I can take action and appeal?
