Firearm License Steps
STEP ONE
PROFICIENCY
Complete the proficiency training from an accredited training provider. The training provider will conduct a knowledge test (often an open-book test followed by a closed-book test) and a practical shooting test.
If you are from KZN, then we recommend speaking to Avishkar Motilal at MOSSC Firearm Training, Security and Consultancy
step two
COMPETENCY
Make an appointment with your DFO (Designated Firearm Officer) at the nearest SAPS. Apply for your competency certificate from your nearest SAPS. Your accredited training provider will outline what documents you will need; these include completing a SAPS 517 form along with the proficiency certificate and other required documents.
step three
NATAL GUN COMPANY
Once you have received your competency certificate from SAPS, come to Natal Gun Company, or view some of our firearms through this website, and we will help you pick out the perfect firearm for you. We will hand you, or send you, a SAPS 350A and a SAPS 271 signed and stamped by us for your firearm of choice.
step four (optional)
LEGALLY ARMED
To make the application process simpler for you to comply with the requirements of the Act, we recommend speaking to Legally Armed.
If you are located in KZN, speak to Tracey from Legally Armed.
Step five
APPLY FOR YOUR SPECIFIC FIREARM LICENSE
Make an appointment with your DFO at your nearest SAPS to hand in your application and apply for your firearm license. Each firearm must have its own license. Click here to view the documents you need to have with you to apply for your firearm licence.
