What a Firearms Medical Certificate Includes
A firearms medical certificate confirms details from your medical history that are relevant to firearms licensing. The police require a clear medical report, not a full medical examination.
The assessment is based on your medical records and follows the correct medical proforma used for firearms and shotgun licence applications. The doctor completes medical verification, checks for relevant medical conditions, and prepares a report that meets police firearms licensing requirements.
Shotgun Medicals For Licence Renewals
The medical process is similar whether you’re applying for a new licence or renewing an existing one. A shotgun licence medical is required for both new applications and renewals.
Once your medical records are received from your GP practice, the medical report is completed. Depending on the police firearms licensing department dealing with your application, the report can be provided to you or sent directly to the police.
Reducing GP Delays and Rejected Reports
Many GP practices no longer provide firearms or shotgun medicals. Others may issue a report that does not meet the relevant licensing standards, which can cause delays or extra medical checks.
Our doctors complete firearm and shotgun medical reports with police requirements in mind. The focus is on reports of medical facts, including any mental or physical condition linked to safe gun ownership, so firearms officers receive the information they need.
Please note – It can take up to 30 days for your GP practice to release medical records to our Doctors. We then complete the medical within 5 days of receiving these and only hold these records for 6 months.
Processing Time for a Fire Arms Application
- Up to 4 Weeks
It is important for applicants to ensure that their medical information is accurate and complete to avoid delays.
We advise applying for a medical at least a month in advance to allow for delays with accessing medical records, these can often take up to 30 days.
