That's the problem the OP was having, the forms we have in the library have been superseded by new forms rolled out in May.

Cambridgeshire Constabulary have the editable versions here, https://www.cambs.police.uk/firearms/forms.asp

Ah! I used the 'older' Forms only a month or so ago and Beds & Herts were OK with them.

So are there newer forms than the new forms?

There are still various versions knocking about on both "civilian" and police websites, for example some still have the referees sections as having to be given to and filled in and returned directly to the FLD by the referees. On the correct forms it only requires the applicant to list the referees details.

As I said before use the forms from the BASC site as your guide, if you want editable PDF forms then the ones available from the Cambridgeshire Constabulary site are (at the moment) also the correct forms to use. If in any doubt compare what you have to the BASC versions.

Looks as though they are the only ones who know what they are doing!

There should be a centralised issue of the forms in that editable format to all forces. There should also be an issue number so that people know which is the latest and which to use.
