Change of address and dfo

Hi

So recently collected my competency certificate at the Douglasdale dfo, and shortly after relocated to Sunninghill.
Who would the dfo for Sunninghill be? Do I also need to inform them of the change of address?

Thanks

I wouldn’t know who you would now fall under, but when I moved I just had to fill in a form at my DFO.

You can also get the change of address form on the saps website. I got one filled it in and handed to the DFO with pictures of my safe bolted to the wall. The process took about 5 minutes.

Thanks for the replies, keep in mind I have not licensed a firearm as yet, only received comp.

I don't think its required to provide change of address for a competency?

Sunninghill should fall under Sandton DFO.
2 Summit Rd Morningside, DFO office is through the car gate, past the cells and on the right :t:

The act specifically mentions competency certificates as such, an it is not mentioned in section 25 of the act, which deals with change of address.

Thanks Grim and knoffel. Just what I wanted to know.
