    • After applying online applicants will be issued with a Weapons Licensing Case Reference number and advice to go to their local Police Station to do the 100-point ID check. If doing the application at a Police Station the ID check will be done as part of that process. Ensure that forms show that the applicant became a member after obtaining their Eligibility Statement.
