    Default License renewal experience

    My S16 licenses are due for renewal now in batches. So far I have only renewed single licenses, 2 of them to be exact. The first was my S13 license and it went smooth. (Due for the second renewal soon.) Then I renewed a (S16) SLR in 2018. Got the new card in my pocket.

    Last week I submitted a batch of licenses that will expire soon. I made it well before the 90 day limit. My DFO, who seems quite clued-up gave me a lecture on my apps. Here is a summary of his recommendations:

    Only submit 1x SAPS 518
    The Annexure "A" you need 1 for each license/FA.

    To SAPS 518 you attach:
    2x ID copies
    2x ID photos
    1x DS certificate (with proof of membership)
    1x Copy of Competency (front&back)

    To each Annexure "A" you attach:
    Short motivation. Stating that your circumstances have not changed and you still need it for the same purpose you applied for originally is sufficient.
    Prior Notice letter
    Endorsement (where applicable)
    Copy of current license (front&back)

    He also stated that he can capture a renewal app up to 5 minutes before midnight on the day before the expry date.



    Having submitted everything as above and paid, a new challenge showed up: The SAPS computer "system" only shows my licenses that will expire at a later date. The currently due ones can not be accessed by the DFO, so it is impossible for him to capture my renewal apps. Go figure!

    Well, I have my reciepts, so my old licenses stay valid till the CFR have sorted their system. I might just get lucky...

    Something you download from Gunsite. It's a letter asking CFR to uphold your rights under the PAJA act.

    Great info, thanks AR. I will be watching the outcome closely as I have normally treated a renewal app like a new license iro motivation. However, I have not had to renew any of my S16 SLRs before so next year will be my first. I have only renewed S13s which went without incident. However, I think your timing is perfect iro renewal before the cluster F’up that’s heading our way.

    I live near a one-horse-town in Limpopo. Might not be of much help you down there in Vanderbijl.

    Update. Got an SMS late in the afternoon notifying me that 1 of the renewal apps is recieving attention at the DFO. That means he has managed to capture 1 so far.
