Arms Licensing

Facilitating the issuance and renewal of arm licenses with strict adherence to legal standards.

• Valid Reason for Possession:
You must have a genuine reason for owning a firearm, such as self-defense (where there is a proven threat to life), sport shooting, or crop protection. "Self-defense" alone, without a demonstrated need, is often not sufficient.

• Safe and Secure Storage:
The firearm and ammunition must be stored separately in a secure, locked container (like a steel cupboard or safe) to prevent access by unauthorized persons, especially children. The keys must be in your personal possession.

• Prohibition of Public Carry:
You cannot carry your licensed firearm in public places, gatherings, or educational institutions. It is strictly for use at your declared premises (home, business) or while in transit to a shooting range, with the relevant permissions.

• No Transfer of Ownership:
You cannot sell, gift, or transfer your licensed weapon to any other person. The license is non-transferable. If you wish to sell, the transaction must be processed through the licensing authority, who will issue a new license to the buyer.

• Renewal is Mandatory:
An arms license is not permanent. It is valid for a specific period (typically 3 or 5 years). You must apply for renewal well before the expiry date. Possessing a firearm with an expired license is a serious offense.
