COLFO Legal Assistance Application for Sentinel Members

Please provide detailed information about your firearms licence suspension, revocation, refusal to issue a license, or refusal of endorsement applications. This will help us and our legal partners assess your case efficiently. All information is confidential and will be shared only with authorised personnel and affiliated lawyers. As per the Terms and Conditions of Sentinel, there is a 4-month stand-down period before new Sentinel coverage takes effect. You can still use this form to help us inform our lawyers to support you, but the cost of existing issues occurring in this period may not be supported financially.

Note: Assistance is limited to suspensions or revocations of existing licences where an individual has not been found guilty of a criminal conviction. See full terms and conditions for more information.

Section 1: Eligibility and Screening Questions

These questions help identify 'no hope' cases, such as those involving automatic revocation conditions under New Zealand law (e.g., final protection orders under the Family Violence Act 2018, which deem a licence revoked).

Providing accurate information prevents wasting resources.
