Obtaining a medical certificate for your shotgun or firearm licence application can be challenging, especially when GP surgeries are unable or unwilling to assist. Many practices either decline to provide the necessary documentation or impose high fees, leading to delays in your application process.
At ShootCert, we simplify this process. Our online application system generates pre-written consent letters, allowing your GP to send your full medical records directly to us in digital format. This method is more efficient for surgeries, reduces staff workload, and accelerates the turnaround time. It’s also more secure and environmentally friendly than traditional postal methods.
Once we receive your medical notes, our panel of GMC-registered doctors reviews them and typically issues your Firearms Medical Certificate within 5 to 10 working days. We offer a fixed fee of £79+VAT, providing a cost-effective solution compared to many GP practices.
ShootCert is the only provider recommended by the British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC), the Countryside Alliance, and the Clay Pigeon Shooting Association (CPSA). Our service is trusted by shooters, police, and GP practices across the UK.
Whether you’re applying for a new licence or renewing an existing one, ShootCert removes the uncertainty and stress from obtaining a firearms medical certificate, making the process simple, quick, and reliable.
