If your license application had passed all approval stages, and your license is issued, then it has a number and the CFP will tell you that number if you get in touch with them.
In my case, my license hadn't been issued before I called, the CFP officer issued it while I was on the phone with her, and she told me my license number immediately after the number was generated.
Can anyone help?
Received my pal in June of this year.
Every time I purchase a firearm, the system never issues a reference number, says call CFO
The first 2 purchased was a simple phone call and the reference number was issued. My last purchase was in August, called multiple times and I keep getting the same answer, registrar hasn’t approved it yet. It’s now been 5 months, no reference number
