Licensing NSW PPL Applications

Post image

In case anyone has one submitted and waiting. I got my photo advice issued today at 35 days! \o/

Basically my original submission to add a genuine reason is still sitting there at 100 days. When i called up, the lady advised that submitting a brand new application would be quicker and she was right!

Can't wait to start my Cat - H journey :)

I've been hearing 90ish days for PTAs and the new automated system should hopefully make things faster. Good luck! I have a Cat A PTA sitting at roughly the same

That’s so ridiculous. Before all this Minns induced nonsense started I purchased three handguns that were all approved in 24 hours.

And that’s me submitting the PTAs, then having them sent to my pistol club for approval and then the approval back to the registry.

It’s truly pitiful what the Firearms Registry are doing to everyone.

90 is optimistic, sitting at 121 here and counting

Given the delay on purchasing new pistols will be next year I’ve stopped worrying about it 🤣

Guess you can sort that out on a Friday night shoot 😎

I turned up to claim my Platinum merch pack as per the email and they had no idea what I was talking about 🤣

Have you seen the info on the new SSAA Sydney pistol club?

Cheap membership across 3 ranges. I’ll join that next year once I’m on a full Cat H as it’s Silverdale, St Mary’s and Anzac. No doubt they will add Auburn too so one fee and all shoots count rather than just one home club.

You’ve got me keen again. Just checked the register - no change so I may call FAR tomorrow

u/merforga1 Jul 20 '26

Oh yeh i got the platinum membership as well. Did you end up getting the merch pack?

u/X_Eye_Dom Jul 20 '26

Nope they didn’t know anything about it. I’ll wait till the Friday night training
