It is a requirement that all applications for grants and renewals of shotgun and firearm certificates are accompanied by four identical photographs of the applicant.
- The photograph must have been taken recently and should show you full face and without a hat.
- The image should be printed on normal thin photographic paper, be unmounted and measure 45mm x 35mm.
- The normal photographs which are supplied for passports, either from a photographic booth or studio, are quite acceptable.
In the case of shotgun applications
- One of the photographs should be signed in ink, on the back, with the applicant's usual signature.
- One other photograph must be endorsed by your countersignatory in ink, on the back, with the following words: "I certify that this is a current true likeness of (insert name of applicant)." He/she should then sign the declaration and insert the date the likeness was compared.
In the case of firearm applications
- One of the photographs should be signed in ink, on the back, with the applicant's usual signature.
- Two other photographs must be endorsed, one each, by each of the two referees, in ink, on the back, with the following words: "I certify that this is a current true likeness of (insert name of applicant)." He/she should then sign the declaration and insert the date the likeness was compared.
In all cases
Please ensure that ALL FOUR photographs are included with each application.
