Firearms licensing processing, integrated with NFLMS
Applications, renewals, variations and enquiries on one integrated platform, with a complete digital record for every certificate.
Manage firearms licensing applications, renewals, variations and customer enquiries through a single, integrated platform. Fully integrated with the National Firearms Licensing Management System (NFLMS), Firearms creates a complete digital record for every certificate, supporting efficient firearm and certificate holder management, streamlined document control and regulatory compliance. It can also be used as an intelligence hub, providing enhanced intelligence sharing and operational support for policing activities.
Certificates, correspondence and documents are held against the national index reference, with tasking for licensing officers and firearms enquiry officers, and document storage in line with RRD compliance.
