The Western Australian Police Force advise:
Information as at 5 December 2018.
Note: When a firearm infringement is issued by the system, it is forwarded to the relevant police station for personal service. Should a firearm licence holder make a payment prior to service of the infringement, it is then automatically withdrawn from the system as they have renewed their firearm licence but it is still recorded as being an infringement issued.
