    Default WANTED: Fillable SAPS271

    Hi

    Is there perhaps a fillable version of the SAPS271 available?

    I used the search function, but the links in the following threads seem to be broken:

    http://www.gunsite.co.za/forums/show...47331-SAPS-271

    Many thanks in advance!

    Sweet

    You can use something like https://www.pdfescape.com if you're so inclined. Upload the 271 and you can complete it online. Whether you go this route will depend on how trusting you are of the owners of the site. I use it for documents that aren't highly sensitive etc.

    You can download the PDF one from SAPS website.
    If you have Adobe Acrobat DC. Which is a free version. There is a option on it you will see. Where it says "Fill and Sign"
    Select this. And you will be able to type on file.

    But note. Some DFO's will not except 271 typed in. They will tell you it needs to filled in by hand.

    Mine showed me where it says in black pen only. Which to him mean also not typed in in black.

    Download Foxit PDF Reader for free and just "type over" the pdf.

    According to my knowledge the SAPS now refuses to accept typed application forms...I might be wrong, maybe it has to do with the DFO but since Nov '16 most of them started refusing

    Black pen is to ensure photocopies are clear. Why, oh, why can't they use their common sense for once!

    My handwriting leaves much to desire, I type because only a pharmacist can decipher my writing...
