REQUIREMENT #1

• The new law requires all firearms owners in Canada to have a valid firearms licence is January 1, 2001.

REQUIREMENT #2

• The next scheduled requirement is that all firearms in Canada must be registered by January 1, 2003. (If your firearms are already registered see Highlights -- Registration of Previously Registered Firearms).

NOTE

• There are only two forms with which to register firearms.  Both are available at local post offices.  These forms can also be downloaded from the Canadian Firearms Centre (CFC) website.
• Application to register non-restricted firearms.  (This form is about the size of one-half sheet of paper and has light brown lettering on it).
• Each application form has it's own unique bar code on each page.  If you are registering more than two firearms:
  • photocopy only the firearm information page as many times as required.  This will ensure you register all your unregistered firearms but pay only one registration fee.

If you have questions filling out the form don't hesitate to call the Canadian Firearms Centre at: 1-800-731-4000
