    Default Section 16 Competency application

    Hi.

    Sorry if this is mentioned somewhere else, I would just like to make sure what form I should be filling in for a section 16 competency application.

    Is it 517 (APPLICATION FOR A COMPETENCY CERTIFICATE) or 517a (APPLICATION FOR A FURTHER COMPETENCY CERTIFICATE)?

    Thanks.

    Get a checklist from your local DFO. There is no Section 16 competency application (Apply for a Section 16 when you apply for a license.) You must do an application for a competency certificate to posses a firearm first.(handgun, shotgun, manually operated rifle or self-loading rifle or carbine). Complete SAPS 517 for a new application. If you do have any competency certificates complete SAPS 517a.

    Okay, thank you, yes I already have a competency for handgun so this is for self loading rifle or carbine. SAPS 517a it is then, thanks again.
