Don't know where that photo comes from John.
Applications used to be made at the police station by the park but last time I heard it was at a new office by the river.
Can't help with appointments etc. but there are others on here who know the score.  Try searching the forums.
Will you be "on line" while you're over here ?  If so, someone can guide you in when you get here.  If you're worried about it, let us know on here and I (or others) will try to get more info for you.
