I can see your point unfortunately I can't find an email address for the department :-P I will ask for one when I ring later,

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools!!

It seems that if they do make a mistake they can usually sort it out very quickly. Bnz and I did our renewal with the added complication of having all our rifles on each other certificates. We went and picked them up, got home and they had left a .223 off. Quick phone call, return to Chelmsford HQ and the corrected certificate was waiting for us. About an hour in total.

I think the logic here is that the actual production is a 1-minute job with a printer loaded with fancy paper, so if all you need is correction of an error (and by implication what you actually asked for has been approved) they can do it without reference to anyone. The checking and authorisation is what takes the time, not the pressing print and putting it in the post.
