When must the firearm requalification application be submitted?

The requirement to submit the firearm requalification application 60 days prior to expiry is critical to ensure that the requalification process can be completed before the current qualification lapses. This time frame allows for adequate processing time by the relevant authorities, as well as ample opportunity for the individual to prepare for requalification training or any necessary assessments.

Submitting the application too late could result in a lapse in qualification, which may lead to legal issues or a need for additional training. By requiring the application 60 days in advance, it helps maintain compliance with regulations and ensures that qualified personnel can continue to carry or use firearms legally without interruption.
