Introduction
If you've been approved for a firearms or security industry licence by NSW Police Force, please visit a Service NSW Centre to have your Photograph Advice processed and licence issued.
You'll need to attend a service centre before the expiry date. If the Photograph Advice expires before you attend a service centre, you'll need to contact the NSW Police Force as you may be required to submit another application.

How to get your licence issued
