Permission to acquire and possess weapons and ammunition
Service Description
If you want to get a gun, you need a gun ownership card.
The authorization to purchase ammunition must be registered separately.
The weapons ownership card does not include permission to carry the weapon outside your home. You are only entitled to do this with the firearms license in conjunction with the firearms ownership card.
Who should I contact?
You must apply for the gun ownership card at your county or city.
Which documents are required?
There you can also find out about documents you need to bring with you.
What are the fees?
Fees are charged in accordance with the Cost Ordinance to the Weapons Act. The amount of the fee depends on the reason for needing the firearms possession card (e.g. sport shooter, hunter, traditional shooter or heir).
What deadlines do I have to pay attention to?
Hunters:
If you are acquiring one or more hunting long guns for the first time as a hunter on the basis of your valid hunting license, you must apply for a gun ownership card from your local firearms authority within 14 days and register the gun(s) you have acquired.
Inheritance:
If you acquire firearms as a result of an inheritance, you must apply for the issuance of a firearms ownership card within one month of accepting the inheritance. The one-month period also begins after the expiration of the period prescribed for disclaiming the inheritance. For legatees or beneficiaries by condition, the period begins with the acquisition of the firearms.
