Check the Status of your Application

How long before I can expect to receive my Firearms license / registration certificate in the mail?

  • Applications that are complete and accurate can be processed faster. Please ensure you have the appropriate information on hand when you fill out your application.
  • Our service standards to process a complete and accurate application are:
  • 45 days, including the 28-day legislated waiting period, for a licence application.
  • 30 days for a registration application.

If you have not received information concerning your application within those time frames, please call 1 800 731-4000 and one of our client representatives will check the reason for the delay.

  • If your application is incomplete or inaccurate, it will take longer to process. We will need to contact you to get the required information before we can process your application.
  • We know that many of our clients have experienced long wait times when calling our 1-800 line. Therefore we have added staff to improve our service level. We are confident that this measure, along with the information about standard application processing times and the on-line status check feature will help to reduce the extreme call volume that we have been receiving at the call centre and allow us to serve you more rapidly.
