SA firearms licences

If you're applying for a new firearms licence, download the form at the South Australia Police website.

If you already have a firearms licence, you'll receive your renewal form in the mail. Check that your personal details, classes for firearms and purpose of use are correct, then complete the section about your security arrangements on the back of the form.

You'll receive a letter from SA Police explaining the types of supporting documents you need to include with your application. Please ensure that any supporting documentation required (e.g. certificate from your collection club, firearm club, security industry employer or accredited instructor) is supplied with your application when payment is made.

You can use the tool at the bottom of this page to find a participating Post Office, where you'll also be able to have your photo taken (if required).
