FORM 201 – 2021

You must complete all parts of the form for the type of certificate for which you are applying. For

electronic applications, each data field must be completed.

FIREARM: Section 1 of the Firearms Act 1968 (as

amended) applies to all firearms except:

i. a shotgun;

ii. an air weapon (unless declared ‘specially

dangerous’);

iii. prohibited weapons such as centre fire self-

loading rifles, handguns, machine guns etc

(unless specifically authorised).

SHOTGUN: Section 1(3)(a) of the Firearms Act 1968

(as amended) defines a shotgun as:

i. a smooth bore gun (not being an air

weapon);

ii. having a barrel not less than 24’’ (60.96cm)

in length and a bore not exceeding 2’’

(5.08cm) in diameter;

iii. either having no magazine, or a non-

detachable magazine incapable of holding

more than two cartridges;

iv. not a revolver gun.

Referees

1. When applying for a firearm certificate, you should have gained the permission of two people who

have agreed to act as referees for you. You must complete Parts F and G with their details. When

applying for a shotgun certificate you should have gained the permission of one person to act as a

referee for you. You must complete part F with their details.

2. The referee(s) who have agreed to act for you must have known you personally for at least two years and

must be resident in Great Britain. A referee must not be a member of your immediate family, a registered

firearms dealer, a serving police officer, a police employee, a Police and Crime Commissioner or a

member of their staff, or a member of, or a member of staff of, the Scottish Police Authority. Referees

must be of good character and any references they agree to provide must be given freely and not on

payment.

Coterminous applications

3. To apply for both a firearm certificate and a shotgun certificate and to have them expire at the

same time (coterminous certificates) you should complete the sections for firearm and shotgun

certificates. The fee payable for such certificates may be less than the normal fee for the grant or

renewal of a shotgun certificate if both of your applications are dealt with at the same time.

Medical information

4. You must disclose any relevant physical or mental health conditions that you have been

diagnosed with or treated for in the past as this may affect your ability to safely possess and use

a firearm or shotgun. Relevant medical conditions which must be disclosed are listed in note 5.

Sections 27 and 28 of the Firearms Act 1968 (as amended) specify that in order to issue a firearm

or shotgun certificate the chief officer of police must be satisfied that an applicant can be

permitted to possess a gun ‘without danger to the public safety or the peace’. Medical fitness

is one of the factors police must consider when assessing a person’s suitability.

NOTES

Please read these BEFORE completing the form

Page13

5. Relevant medical conditions which must be disclosed are:

• Acute Stress Reaction or an acute reaction to the stress caused by a trauma, including post-

traumatic stress disorder

• Suicidal thoughts or self harm or harm to others

• Depression or anxiety

• Dementia

• Mania, bipolar disorder or a psychotic illness

• A personality disorder

• A neurological condition: for example, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s or Huntington’s

diseases, or epilepsy

• Alcohol or drug abuse

• Any other mental or physical condition, or combination of conditions, which you think may

be relevant.

If in doubt, consult your doctor or contact the police firearms licensing department.

6. It is your responsibility to arrange for your GP or another suitably qualified GMC-registered

doctor* (including where a doctor is providing this service for a private company) to provide

medical information to the police concerning your suitability to possess a firearm and/or

shotgun. Please use the doctor's letter and medical information proforma which is part of this

document, detach and pass to the doctor for completion. You are expected to meet the cost if a

fee is charged for this. When the medical information is being provided to the police by a

doctor from a private company, the doctor must receive the applicant's medical information

direct from the GP practice and not via the applicant.

7. With regards to data protection, it should be noted that the medical information will be

processed on a public interest basis for the legitimate policing purpose of assessing the

suitability of someone to be granted a firearm or shotgun certificate.

8. Medical practitioners have separately requested that an applicant's consent is provided in order

for medical practitioners to be satisfied that they have discharged their obligations under their

duty of confidentiality in relation to their patients. The application form requests the applicant's

consent for the release of the information for that reason.

9. Where the doctor indicates that there are relevant medical issues and police require further medical

information to consider the application, you should obtain a report about these medical issues. You

are expected to meet the cost of a fee if it is charged. Following this, if police require an additional

report to be provided they will meet the cost of the fee charged.

10. The police will ask your GP to place an encoded reminder on your patient record to indicate that

you have been issued with a firearm or shotgun certificate. The GP is asked to notify the police

if, following issue of the certificate, you are diagnosed with or treated for a relevant medical

condition (listed in note 5), or if the GP has other concerns about your possession of a certificate

that might affect your safe possession of firearms. Following contact from your GP there may be

a need for a medical report to be obtained to assist with assessment of your continued suitability

to possess a firearm or shotgun certificate. The police will pay if a medical report is required.

11. Following the issue of a firearm or shotgun certificate please note that the declaration you have

signed consenting to information sharing between your doctor and police applies during the

application process and during the validity of any firearm or shotgun certificate, which may be

up to five years.

12. You are expected to inform the police if, following issue of the certificate, you are diagnosed

with or treated for a relevant medical condition while the certificate remains valid.

Page14

13. You should inform the police if you change your GP practice and provide contact details for the

new practice.

14. You are asked to provide details of GP practices over the past 10 years and whether you have

consulted medical practitioners other than at your GP practice so that all relevant information is

available to police to assist with their assessment of suitability to possess a firearm certificate.

Military personnel who are posted abroad and have a service GP may still be regarded as

resident in the UK for the purposes of the application.

Convictions and offences

15. You must not withhold information about any conviction. This includes motoring offences

(including speeding offences), bindovers, formal written cautions and convictions in and outside

Great Britain, and (by virtue of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975)

convictions which are spent under the 1974 Act. A conditional discharge and an absolute discharge

both count as convictions for this purpose. Details of parking offences and fixed penalty notices do not

need to be declared.

16. Section 21 of the Firearms Act 1968 places restrictions on the possession of firearms and

ammunition by those previously convicted of crime. A person receiving a sentence of

imprisonment of three months or more is prohibited from possessing a firearm, shotgun, antique

firearm, air weapon or ammunition for five years from the date of their release. In the case of

a suspended sentence the prohibition applies from the second day after being sentenced. If the

sentence is three years or more the prohibition applies for life unless lifted by the Crown

(or Sheriff) Court.

Inspection of premises

17. Please allow the police to inspect your guns and security when requested as in the absence of a

warrant consent is required for the police to inspect premises.

Photograph

18. A digital photograph must be used for online applications. Paper applications must be accompanied by

one photograph. Ordinary passport-style photographs (45mm high x 35mm wide) are suitable for this

purpose. Photographs must be of a professional standard, against a plain cream or grey background

and without other objects or people in the background and (if printed) must be on good quality gloss or

matt paper. The photograph must be a true likeness and full face without a head covering (unless it is

worn for religious or medical reasons). In your photograph you must be looking straight at the camera,

have a neutral expression, with your eyes open and mouth closed. You must not wear sunglasses or

tinted glasses, and the photographs must not have any ‘red eye.’

Equality monitoring

19. The equality monitoring information you provide in Part H aims to assist the force in meeting its duties

as a Public Authority. The information will be kept separately from the application.

Submission of application

20. The receipt for electronic applications, where these are available, will be automatically generated by

the system. For hard copy applications, unless advised otherwise by the police, you should post or take

the completed form together with the fee and photograph to the police firearms licensing department.

In the case of an application for renewal, a signed and dated recent copy of the certificate to be

renewed should be sent to police when you submit your application. If an application is being made for a

variation the certificate to be varied must be included with your application. (You may wish to keep a

copy of the certificate.)

Page15

Section 1 Firearms Only

21. To acquire or possess firearms or ammunition under section 1 of the Firearms Act 1968, you have to

provide evidence that you have a good reason to do so. This applies to the grant, renewal or variation of

a firearm certificate. This evidence can take several forms: permission to shoot over land or

membership of a target shooting club, or a booking or invitation to go deer stalking are examples, but

these are not exhaustive.

22. Please provide the address of one area of land where you have permission to shoot, together with the

name, address and telephone number of the person who has given you that permission or the details of

a Home Office approved club of which you are a full member.

NB: You will not necessarily be limited to shooting over that individual piece of land or at that club.

*A doctor with a full, specialist or GP (rather than provisional) GMC registration and a licence to practise.

Dear Doctor,

I am applying for a firearm certificate/shotgun certificate/to be registered as a firearms dealer.

Firearms applications and medical fitness

The police assess firearms applications and require all applicants to provide factual information from a doctor

confirming whether they have ever been diagnosed with or treated for any of the following conditions, which can

have a bearing on whether a person is suitable to be granted a firearm certificate:

• Acute Stress Reaction or an acute reaction to the stress caused by a trauma, including post-traumatic stress

disorder

• Suicidal thoughts or self-harm or harm to others

• Depression or anxiety

• Dementia

• Mania, bipolar disorder or a psychotic illness, or a personality disorder

• A neurological condition: for example, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s or Huntington’s diseases, or epilepsy

• Alcohol or drug abuse

• Any other mental or physical condition, or combination of conditions, which you think may be relevant.

Please note that the police are not seeking your opinion on my suitability to hold a firearm certificate, as the

responsibility for this decision lies with the police. They require only a factual response, from a suitably qualified

GMC-registered doctor* based on my medical record.

*A doctor with a full, specialist or GP (rather than provisional) GMC registration and a licence to practise.

Information requested from a GMC-registered doctor

If there is a history of any of the relevant medical conditions listed, please can the response include the following:

1. Name of medical condition

2. Duration of medical condition

3. Medication prescribed

Please note that only information about any relevant medical condition(s) should be provided. A print out of my

medical history is therefore not acceptable for this purpose.

Doctors’ fees

Should a fee be payable, please forward an invoice to my home address. I understand that the information will not

be provided until the fee, if any, has been paid.

How to respond

Your response should be sent to the local police firearms licensing department by secured NHS email, or sent by

post. Alternatively, please contact me so that I can collect it. If the response is given to me to supply to the police

they may contact you to confirm the details.

When the medical information is being provided to the police by a doctor from a private company, the doctor must

receive the applicant’s medical information direct from the GP practice and not via the applicant.

Once the police have considered your response, they may wish to see a medical report about any relevant medical

conditions I have experienced so that they can give further consideration to my application. I will be liable for the

medical fees to provide a report.

Firearms marker

Please put a ‘firearm application made’ flag on the patient record. If I am granted a firearm certificate the police

will contact you to ask you to place a ‘firearm certificate held’ flag on my patient record. This is so that the police

can be alerted if I begin to experience any of the relevant medical conditions listed while the firearm certificate

remains valid. The police will then review my suitability to continue as a firearm certificate holder.

Further information

If you need any further information, please telephone or email the local police firearms licensing department.

Thank you for your assistance.

Yours sincerely,

Applicant signature

CONSENT

I understand that a doctor may share sensitive personal data with the police concerning my physical and mental health

to enable the police to make a decision on my application, or on my continued suitability to possess a firearm certificate,

and I hereby consent to this processing of my personal data.

I understand that the police will process the medical information supplied on a public interest basis for the legitimate

policing purpose of assessing the suitability of someone to be granted a firearm or shotgun certificate.

I understand that medical practitioners have requested that my consent is provided in respect of their duty of

confidentiality to allow doctors to provide information to the police, who will then process the data as described above.

I understand the police may contact my doctor or medical specialist to obtain factual details of any medical history in

relation to my suitability to possess a firearm or shotgun. This applies for the life of the certificate.
