TTPS outlines legal process for applying for FUL

The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) has reminded members of the public that all applications for a Firearm User’s Licence (FUL) must comply fully with the law and be processed solely through official TTPS channels.

As the only body legally authorised under the Firearms Act to issue FULs, the TTPS warned that citizens must immediately cease all dealings with individuals or entities outside the organisation regarding the acquisition or facilitation of firearm licences. It cautioned that such actions may be unlawful and will be investigated.

Applicants must provide the following documents, all of which must be current at the time of submission:

- A valid form of identification (National ID Card, Passport, or Driver’s Permit)
- A Certificate of Character issued by the TTPS
- A psychiatric evaluation by a certified mental health professional
- A medical certificate from a registered medical practitioner
- A letter of consent from a spouse and/or any adult residing at the applicant’s home, dated within the last six months
- Any additional documentation relating to justification, as requested during the interview stage

Applications missing any of these required documents will not be processed.

The TTPS outlined the formal application steps as follows:

1. Obtain the application form from the Government Printery
2. Compile the required documents for review and verification
3. Undergo background checks and a site visit by designated officers
4. Attend an interview, if requested
5. Await a decision following a comprehensive evaluation by the Commissioner of Police

The TTPS also issued a public advisory warning that no third party, broker, or intermediary has the authority to process or influence FUL applications. It stressed that all inquiries and submissions must be handled directly through the TTPS.

Attempts to bypass official procedures through unauthorised persons may constitute a criminal offence and jeopardise the application.

The TTPS reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring that all firearm licensing decisions are guided by legality, public safety, and professional integrity. It encouraged citizens to cooperate fully and honestly during the process.

The release further indicated that the TTPS is reviewing all FUL applications older than six months. Applicants with pending submissions will be contacted to update and resubmit expired or outdated documents to maintain compliance prior to consideration by the Commissioner of Police.

The advisory follows national discussions around civilian access to firearms. During the recently held General Election, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar campaigned on a promise to expand citizens’ ability to obtain FULs for self-defence. She also proposed introducing “stand your ground” legislation, which would give individuals legal protection when using force in response to a perceived threat.

“Applications missing any of these required documents will not be processed.”

Is penmanship, literacy and basic understanding of english language a criteria?

Normally they does ask for those documentation when the cops come to do their investigation.
If you submit now and they reach your file next year and say you psych, medical etc too dated, you have to do yet a third time?

[pugboy]

that is what the man said on tv
so salt for all the ppl who patiently waiting years
have to wait for them to reach your file after they process the 6month within ones then resubmit
so may not make sense rushing for new docs as by the time they reach a person file 6months coulda pass again

[MaxPower]

Correct.

Imagine the back log ontop the backlog.

Files lossing like that in all that paper work.

6 months will run up quick quick and everyone would hadda submit docs again.

is the same sheit when GG encourage everyone to apply.

[pugboy]

and a next “audit” thrown in for good measure

Correct.

I suspected this much from the start. The govt may have just given instructions to give out a whole lot more FULs, so whereas you used to get 1000 or so in a year, might be 2 or 3 thousand now. Backlog not gonna clear anytime soon.

God help us with thousands upon thousands of Trinis with FULs.

Considering you have to keep your one unit for the rest of your life I feel Glock is the best option. Plenty parts, after market service, accessories etc , and just like a tiida all the ghetto youths running one

Buy an Arex and the one dealer in Trinidad decide to go into a next business, salt after

[pugboy]

no doubt glock does work
but the small piggy short men not buying dat
