In the UK, every applicant to police forces must undergo a firearms medical assessment. The primary objective of these assessments is to ascertain that individuals are medically fit to handle firearms without any health-related impediments. Ensuring the well-being and capability of individuals in firearm use is paramount
The processing time for a firearm medical application and approval by the police can vary, but it typically takes 4 weeks (most of the time is waiting on your records from your practise)
This medical report is necessary to determine any potential risk to public safety. If there are any medical concerns, the police may request additional information, which can further extend the processing time.
It is important for applicants to ensure that their medical information is accurate and complete to avoid delays. In some cases, applicants may be asked to provide additional medical reports, which could be at their own expense or covered by the police if further clarification is required.
Applicants are advised to check with their local police force for specific timelines and requirements related to their application.
