I am in Voluntary Surrender

The guide offers practical support for Certificate Holders who have voluntarily surrendered their guns — a situation currently affecting an estimated 8,500–10,000 people across the UK.

It explains that Voluntary Surrender (VS) isn’t defined in law, though referenced in official guidance, and outlines both appropriate uses and misuses.

Key risks include the loss of appeal rights, extended timelines, and lack of transparency.

The document provides step-by-step actions for holders and encourages affected individuals to seek further support via the “Contact Us” function on the site.
