The fax number where one sends BC Long Term Authorization To Transport (ATT) applications has been changed.  The new fax number is 604-586-2402.  Mailed applications are still addressed to the Surrey office (address below)

Blank applications can be obtained from the Canadian Firearms Centre (CFC) website at:

http://www.cfc-cafc.gc.ca/online-en_ligne/form-assistance/PDFs/679_e.pdf

The three pages of instructions can be ignored by those BC shooters who need an ATT to take their restricted firearms and 12-6 handguns to the range, to a gunsmith or back and forth across the border.  All that needs to be completed is:

Section A- Personal Information – Complete as required

Section B – Firearm Information – LEAVE BLANK

Section C – Reason For Transport – Check boxes “d”, “i”, and “m” and give the name of your home club.

Section D – Date And Times Of Transport – LEAVE BLANK

Section E – Transport Route – LEAVE BLANK

Section F – Applicant Declaration – Complete as required

The form can be completed ‘on screen’ – except for Section C, wherein the program will only let you make one choice.  Complete as per our instructions, print out, then add the two checks in section C.

You can send your completed application to: Canadian Firearms Centre, British Columbia and Yukon District Office
400 - 10470 152 Street, Surrey, BC V3R 0Y3 or fax it to 604-586-2402.  Expect to receive your ATT in about one week.  Those who require a “short term” ATT should call the CFC at 1-800-731-4000.

DON’T FORGET THAT ATTS EXPIRE WHEN YOUR LICENCE EXPIRES.  CHECK YOUR ATT EXPIRY DATE.
