ShootCert, a trusted provider of firearms medical certification in the UK, offers a Renewal Reminder Service to assist licence holders in managing their shotgun or firearm certificate renewals.
This free service is designed to help applicants apply for their medical certificate at the optimal time, ensuring a smooth renewal process.
Why Timing Matters in Firearms Licence Renewals
Applying for a medical certificate too early can lead to complications, as some police firearms departments may reject certificates submitted more than five months before the licence expiry date. Conversely, applying too late may not allow sufficient time to obtain the necessary medical records from your GP. ShootCert recommends applying between three and five months prior to your licence’s expiration to accommodate potential delays in acquiring medical notes

ShootCert’s Renewal Reminder Service is a straightforward tool that prompts users to apply for their medical certificate at the appropriate time. By entering your certificate’s expiry date, the service calculates and notifies you when it’s time to begin the application process, ensuring compliance with police guidelines and avoiding unnecessary delays.
