Documents for obtaining a weapons permit. How to obtain a permit to carry a firearm? License to purchase and store weapons in Russia

Many citizens want to purchase firearms for personal use.

In order to purchase a weapon for hunting, self-defense or other purposes, you must obtain a special permit. Where you can purchase such a specific product, how to obtain a license and what documents are needed for a weapons permit, we will tell you in this article.

How to get a weapons permit?

What is needed for a weapons permit, and who can purchase a dangerous item for personal use? Before you buy a firearm, you need:

decide what weapon you are interested in - for self-defense, for hunting, for official purposes, etc.;

check with the store whether a license is required for purchase - to do this, check the characteristics of the weapon in the certificate.

The procedure for obtaining a weapons permit and the list of necessary documents is regulated by Federal Law No. 150-FZ of December 13, 1996. If you decide to arm yourself for the purposes specified in the law, you can find out the registration rules yourself. But it is better to use the services of experienced lawyers to obtain a license and collect the necessary forms.

A citizen who meets the following conditions will be able to obtain a permit to purchase weapons:

adult;

has a certificate from a medical institution confirming that there are no contraindications to owning a dangerous item;

indicated your permanent residence address;

has no criminal record for intentional crimes;

should not be held administratively liable for the last calendar year;

documented gun safety training.

If you meet the specified requirements and pay the state fee, you will receive a weapons permit. You must submit an application to the licensing and permitting department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. His address can be obtained from the police.

You can obtain a firearms license only if you meet all the requirements established by law.

To find out what documents are needed to obtain a weapons permit, you need to know the type of dangerous item. For example, for bladed or hunting weapons, a special procedure for confirming rights is provided.

Hunting

Documents for a hunting weapon permit must additionally include a valid hunting license obtained from authorized agencies. An alternative document may be a hunting permit related to the main type of activity.

A number of special rules have been established for potential hunters. In exceptional cases, the applicant's age may be reduced by 2 years. To do this, an administrative act of the government authority is issued or such rules apply to all residents of the region (for example, if there is a special culture associated with hunting in the region).

Traumatic

This type of weapon is used for self-defense of citizens from criminal attacks and has a limited damage radius with a special type of ammunition. It is allowed to purchase up to 5 units of traumatic weapons, and documents for a weapons permit are provided according to the general rules. When purchasing a dangerous item, you need to make sure that the certificate confirms that it is classified as a traumatic weapon. If a permit has been issued for a traumatic weapon, you cannot purchase, store or carry firearms under it.

Pneumatic

Owners of pneumatic weapons must undergo a medical examination once every 5 years to ensure there are no contraindications for storing and carrying them. The characteristics of pneumatics are confirmed by the manufacturer’s certificate, and its use is often associated with sporting purposes.

Smoothbore

A permit for smooth-bore weapons will be issued without the right to carry it. This type of weapon can be purchased for self-defense, and its carrying is prohibited even when unloaded or in a case. The law sets a limit on the number of units - no more than 5 pieces. Exceeding this limit is only allowed for collections.

Documents for obtaining permission to store and carry weapons

What documents are needed to quickly obtain a weapons permit from the Ministry of Internal Affairs? The full list of forms, forms and certificates required to obtain an initial permit is regulated by Law No. 150-FZ and departmental instructions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Authorized bodies cannot require other documents if such a rule is not in the law.

A permit to purchase and store weapons will be issued if you submit the following documents:

a valid passport - to obtain additional information, it is better to make several copies of this document in advance;

a certificate of passing a medical commission confirming the absence of contraindications for the use of firearms or other types of weapons;

a certificate that you are not registered in drug treatment and psychiatric dispensaries;

a blood test confirming the absence of narcotic and psychotropic substances in the citizen’s body;

2 photographs 3x4;

document confirming completion of training courses on proper handling of weapons;

certificate of no criminal record - its provision is an optional condition, since this information will still be checked when considering the application.

To obtain permission, you must submit a package of documents to the licensing and permitting department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation at your place of residence.

How to get a weapons permit? If you have correctly prepared a set of documents and carefully checked all the points of the application, you will receive permission within 1 month. If the decision of the LRO is positive, you have 6 months to purchase a firearm. If you miss the specified deadline, you will have to go through the entire procedure again.

When reviewing documents, a refusal may be issued. Let's look at the most common reasons for refusal:

providing false or incomplete information;

there is no possibility of proper storage and accounting of weapons;

the citizen is a drug addict, is an alcoholic, or is registered in a psychiatric dispensary.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs must send a written notification indicating the grounds for refusal. In case of disagreement with the actions of the authorized bodies, you can send a complaint to the court. With the participation of experienced lawyers, this procedure will be painless and in the shortest possible time.

State duty

To obtain permission to purchase and carry weapons, you must provide a document confirming payment of the fee. Since October 2017, its size has increased sharply. It depends on the type of weapon purchased and ranges from 500 to 2 thousand rubles.

In order not to be mistaken in the correct transfer of amounts, it is best to obtain payment details from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They are located on information stands or on the official website.

Note!

When paying the fee, check that the bank employee has correctly filled out your personal data and the payment budget classification codes (BCC).

Permission period

A permit for firearms or other dangerous items has a limited duration. The permit form is issued to the owner for 5 years. This document gives the right to store and carry weapons and confirms the legality of their possession. After the specified period has expired, you can renew the license - to do this you will again need to pay a fee.

You can only use weapons during the period the permit is valid. If the permit is expired, in addition to a significant fine, the weapon and ammunition may be confiscated.

Procedure for renewing a weapons permit

Do I need to renew my weapons permit or get a duplicate if it is lost or damaged? According to Law No. 150-FZ, grounds for replacement may include the expiration of the license, a damaged form, loss of permission, change in personal information (change of residential address, last name, etc.).

What is needed to obtain a weapons permit for a new period or to restore the document? First of all, write the application within the strictly established time frame:

1 month - if the validity period expires;

within 7 days - if the place of storage of weapons or the citizen’s personal data changes;

the same period - if the form is lost;

If a document is damaged or damaged, you should contact the Ministry of Internal Affairs immediately.

The permit must be renewed every 5 years. To do this, you will need a standard package of documents for registration and a previously issued license.

before the day of submitting the application, collect the necessary documents (their list is indicated above);

contact the Ministry of Internal Affairs and inform about the renewal of the permit document. After this, a local police officer will visit you and check the presence of a safe and its parameters. If a law enforcement officer does not find any violations, he will draw up a report stating that the requirements have been met and comply with the law;

contact the LRO with a complete set of documents;

wait from 10 to 30 days for a response to obtain permission in writing;

If the message is positive, contact the LRO again to obtain a license.

Note!

The maximum period for consideration of an application is 30 days. If it is violated, you can file a complaint with a higher authority or court to appeal against the actions of the authorized bodies.

In recent years, submitting an application through the State Services portal has become popular. To do this, you need to confirm your account on the site. Even ordinary users who do not have special skills can easily figure it out and submit an application through the state portal.

If you submit an application electronically, you must attach scanned copies of documents and wait up to 30 days for a response from the licensing authority.

A positive aspect of submitting an application through the State Services portal is the significant time savings. You can request the service at any time without standing in long queues.

If you do not renew your license, you may be subject to administrative liability.

What happens if the permit is expired?

For such a violation they are subject to administrative liability. If you miss the regulated deadline and do not renew your permit in a timely manner, then you are actually using a weapon illegally.

The amount of the fine depends on the period of delay:

from one day or several weeks - from 1 to 1.5 thousand rubles;

longer term - 3 thousand rubles.

Note!

In addition to financial penalties, the weapon may be confiscated until you receive a new license.

Thus, if the documentation is completed in a timely and correct manner, you will be able to obtain a license without any problems. But if you need help in obtaining or renewing a permit to use a weapon, or need to challenge the actions of officials when refusing to issue it, contact our lawyers. They will evaluate the composition of your documents and offer the best option for quickly obtaining or renewing a permit.

There are quite a lot of general articles covering the issue of how to obtain a weapons license, and by rewriting them from time to time, we are unlikely to provide any practical benefit to the reader. Many people prefer to see specific data regarding the cost and production time of the final document. Let’s immediately make a reservation that no one will be able to give an exact figure, since even within the same city it is possible to implement the algorithm for obtaining a license in two or even three ways, which will change the final cost, if not by an order of magnitude, but by a significant amount.

Public services portal

To visualize the financial costs that accompany obtaining permits and find out how much a weapons permit costs, let’s look at how the entire algorithm is performed step by step. Moreover, we will consider not the theoretical aspect, which is described in the law, but a practical case, as close as possible to the realities of life.

First, let's choose a method for submitting an application. The cost of a weapons license will not depend on this; simply by submitting an application through the government services portal, you can significantly reduce the overall time for processing documents. Registration on the portal is completely free. To do this, you must provide reliable data.

It is important to remember that if you decide to use the portal in practice, then there should not be any fictitious data, only relevant information.

A verification code will be sent to the specified phone number, which must be entered during registration.

You will need to enter documents by uploading scanned versions of them in the form. The idea with electronic documents is that the department to which you are sending them will print them. But due to the lack of proper office equipment, you will definitely be asked to provide original documents. What is the advantage of the public services portal? In the electronic queue. There is no need to wait for hours for your turn if you can sign up on the portal. For the rest, civilization has not yet reached the departments.

Obtaining a hunting license

If hunting weapons are to be registered, we will begin the entire procedure by obtaining a hunting license. Moreover, this will practically not bring any financial costs. The government services portal will come to the rescue, which will work in all its glory upon receipt of a hunting ticket.

A photo will only have to be uploaded for the application form to be accepted, since the “Photo” column is mandatory. But the department does not have a printer to print a photo, so they will ask you for ready-made photos. In a week you can receive the finished document completely free of charge, although your wallet will be empty by 200 rubles, which you will have to pay for the photographs. Due to such nuances, you should prepare photocopies of your passport just in case. Otherwise, the ticket issuance service is free.

How much does a medical certificate cost?

No one is in a hurry to correct the error regarding the form of the certificate. Many sources still write that Form 046 is required, although this information has not been relevant for more than a year. Since January 2017, the form of the certificate for obtaining a weapons permit has changed; it must be issued in form 002-О/у. But usually those who come to the clinic and ask to be examined for a license are understood at a glance and sent to a psychiatrist and narcologist.

If a medical examination can be done in any clinic, public or paid, then there is not much alternative to a narcologist and a psychiatrist. They are accepted in special dispensaries, which should be in every city.

I must admit, the queues to see a psychiatrist are long. We'll have to accept this as a given. But the inspection itself will not take much time. You will need to pay 400 rubles to the cashier, after which you will receive the coveted stamp. But if there are any inconsistencies in the military ID, then you will be sent to the military registration and enlistment office. The psychiatrist will definitely ask those who did not serve, for what reason? All citizens liable for military service of a limited service category should be prepared for such a question, as it will be asked at every visit to a psychiatrist.

The services of a narcologist are much more expensive. For just 1,500 rubles you take a urine test, and on the second day you already receive the result. Usually there are no queues at the narcologist, but waiting for the analysis will delay your plans for two days. The visit itself will last no more than five minutes.

Returning to the medical facility, you can go through all the specialists. Note that in a budget clinic, as in a paid clinic, such a medical examination is carried out for money. That is why many people prefer to pay more, but avoid the tedious wait in line. Since the list of specialists is extremely short, a certificate in form 002-О/у will cost only 400 or 500 rubles. This certificate is accompanied by the results of an examination by a narcologist and a psychiatrist.

The high cost of a certificate from a narcologist is due to a chemical analysis, which has not been done before. You can get it done at any other clinic that provides similar services, but you won’t be able to beat the price.

Buying a safe

Even at the very early stage of paperwork, you will have to get used to the idea that you will have to buy a safe. Moreover, there is one very important detail here; the purchase cannot be postponed until later. Even when applying for permission, the safe must be in the room and screwed to the wall, possibly with anchor bolts. Everyone will try to buy a safe as cheaply as possible, believing that this is just a requirement of law enforcement agencies.

Look to the future before settling on any one. Perhaps in the near future you will decide to purchase another barrel. An average safe with a locking device costs about 4,000 rubles.

The practical procedure for processing documents may deviate somewhat from the theoretical algorithm. According to the procedure for granting permits, during the processing of documents, the local inspector must come to your home and inspect the conditions for storing weapons. Then, based on the data received, he draws up a report. In reality, you may have to contact the local police officer yourself so that he can inspect the premises and draw up a report. You attach this act to all documents.

This deviation does not make any changes to the total amount of costs, since the local police officer goes to the site for free and does not need to pay for signing the act. There have been cases when a law enforcement representative was content with a couple of photos of the safe and room taken on his phone.

Training courses

Here, in terms of price, everything is so ambiguous, you can undergo training and pass the exam for money, the amount of which varies by a couple of thousand. First, let's look at what training is. It is necessary to understand that any institution that has the appropriate accreditation can conduct courses. But in order to provide high-quality training in the use of weapons in a short period of time, there must be a material base, experience and professional teachers.

In each city, usually several training centers are ready to provide their services at the same time. There is no need to be afraid of the difference in the program. It simply cannot exist, since the program is approved by the Ministry of Education.

In the competitive struggle, different schools are ready to provide students with various advantageous offers. For example, free exam retakes or reduced exam costs. Let's consider the maximum and minimum price that you will have to pay to receive crusts. In some centers, training with an exam costs about 5,000 rubles, and each subsequent retake will cost the student another 1,000 rubles. But some schools are ready to offer a full range of services for 3,000 rubles, and promise to retake the test for free.

The training will take one or two days. It all depends on the planning of the program in a particular training center. As a result, you will receive a certificate and certificate.

• One document indicates completion of courses and acquisition of the necessary skills. It must be kept, as it will have to be presented when renewing the license.
• The second document is a certificate of passing the exams. Without it, the licensing department will not even consider your application.

Visit to the licensing department

Having prepared all the documents, you can go to submit your application. There are a couple more nuances that we have not paid due attention to, but they will require financial costs. Do you have any photos left from preparing your hunting ticket? Then you'll save a couple hundred. You only need two photos, but in some photo studios you will receive 6 cards at once, for which you will have to pay.

The department will give you the details for which you need to pay the state fee, but if you started filling out the application through the government services portal, then it is possible to pay the fee with a bank card. This will cost another 2,000 rubles. The increase in price occurred relatively recently, so in many sources you can find the old duty rate of 110 rubles.

From permit to license

The document, the algorithm for obtaining which we have given, is called a permit to purchase weapons. With it you can buy weapons for hunting or self-defense. But permitting activities should be continued without delay. From the date of purchase of the barrel, you are required to register it two weeks in advance.

You need to take a pistol or shotgun and submit it for inspection along with documents to the OLRR. The department will determine the compliance of all technical indicators and enter the weapon number into a special database where its owner is indicated. This is how the system of state control over the circulation of weapons is implemented.

After registration, you must obtain a license to store firearms. This applies to powerful air rifles, hunting smoothbore guns and, even more so, rifled weapons. Melee weapons are included in the hunting license upon registration. The issued license is valid for five years. It should be reissued in the year of expiration three months before the appointed date. The procedure for re-registration is established by law and implies a preliminary start of the procedure so that the owner does not expire the license and does not remain in violation of the law.

Total cost of obtaining a license

1. 6 photographs measuring 3 by 4 cm cost 250 rubles.
2. The price of a psychiatrist’s note is 400 rubles.
3. A drug test report and a urine test for drug content – ​​1,500 rubles.
4. Certificate of completion of a medical examination, issued in form 002-О/у – 400 rubles.
5. Safe for two barrels - 4000 rubles.
6. Training and exam – 5000 rubles (maximum amount).
7. State duty – 2000 rubles.

It is easy to calculate that the total price for a license is approximately 13,550 rubles. When assessing the total cost, you need to clearly understand what kind of service the licensing and permitting department should provide you with. The issuance of a license is the general name for three events at once: permission to purchase, registration and a storage license.

On the government services website you can see the list of services that your department provides. Having selected the desired service, its card states how much it costs. These services are mainly related to the activities of private security companies, issuing documents before purchasing a weapon and processing documents after purchasing a gun.

However, when calculating the total cost of all costs, take into account secondary activities. This can also include travel expenses, loss of time, and paid photocopies of documents.

You may ask why you need to get a license for both types of weapons. There are three reasons for this:
1 - Practicality. Traumatic weapons are the only effective legal means of self-defense, and smooth-bore weapons are for hunting and for protecting your own home;
2 - Saving money. There is no need to first buy a pistol safe for a traumatic gun, and then a gun safe for a shotgun;
3 - Save time. If you obtain both licenses at once, you will be able to combine the exams and not have to take them again.

Let us decipher the points of the above diagram of actions when obtaining licenses for traumatic and smooth-bore weapons.

1. Obtaining a hunting license. This document is not included in the list of mandatory submissions, but its presence is desirable since it subsequently allows the free transportation of firearms. In addition, after 5 years of owning a smooth-bore weapon, you will have the right to purchase a rifled weapon. This document is of unlimited duration and is issued free of charge upon application.

Action plan. We take 2 personal photographs 3x4 - matte, strictly frontal, without headdress. Colored or black and white - it doesn't matter. We make 2 photocopies of the passport: page 2-3 with personal data, and a page with the registration address. We take all this, look for the nearest MFC and go there to write an application for a hunting license of a unified federal standard. Be sure to have your passport with you.

Previously, it was necessary to pass an exam on knowledge of the hunting minimum. Now it is enough to sign the application “I am familiar with the requirements of the hunting minimum.”

Within 5 days after submitting the application, you should receive an SMS message indicating that your hunting license is ready. The application can also be submitted at the local licensing and permitting department or through the State Services portal.

2. Obtaining medical certificates. At this stage, the main goal is to obtain the results of a chemical toxicological test (CTI) in form No. 454/u-06 (drug test results), a medical certificate in form No. 003-O/u (about the absence of drugs in the body), a medical certificate No. 002-O/u (for the right to own weapons). The validity period of certificate No. 002-О/у is 1 year, but it is better not to delay it.

Action plan. Certificate No. 002-О/у is issued on the basis of a medical examination (ophthalmologist and therapist) and previously received certificates from psychoneurological and narcological dispensaries, and the results of chemical testing. All certificates are paid. You can obtain certificate No. 002-O/u at departmental clinics, or at any medical institution that has a license for this type of activity. You can see a narcologist and psychotherapist at the medical center. institution only at the place of residence. Certificate No. 003-O/u is issued on the basis of the HTI conclusion in form No. 454/u-06 - you will need to take a urine test.

4. Weapon safety training courses. Upon initial application to the OLRR, they require a certificate of completion of weapons courses. The purpose of these courses is to familiarize civilians with the rules and acquire skills in safe handling of weapons.

Training takes place in training centers in the form of lectures with practical exercises at the shooting range. For registration you will need: 2 photos 3x4 matte, medical certificate No. 002-О/у, passport and its copy.

The training center must have a valid license to carry out educational activities under training programs for individuals in order to learn the rules and acquire skills in safe handling of weapons. Information about the license can be found on the Rosobrnadzor website; you will need it if you submit an application through the State Services portal.

All training will take only one day, at the end you will need to pass an exam (testing). As a result, you will have in your hands a Certificate of completion of weapons courses and a Certificate of verification of knowledge of the rules and skills of safe handling of weapons for submission to the OLRR. The validity period of these documents is 5 years.

5. Obtaining a license to purchase weapons. At this stage, the main goal is to obtain two documents from the OLRR:
a) licenses for the acquisition of firearms of limited destruction and ammunition for them
b) a license to purchase hunting smooth-bore weapons, as well as ammunition for them

Action plan. The easiest way is to submit applications through the State Services portal; those who are not looking for easy ways can take a walk to the OLRR in your area. When submitting applications through the portal, you will need to fill out two forms and upload scans of the received medical information. certificates License for the purchase of traumatic weapons, for smooth-bore weapons -.

When filling out an application for a license to purchase a hunting smoothbore weapon, you will need to indicate the brand of the weapon. If you haven’t decided yet, write with the general wording “smooth-bore hunting firearm.”

After the applications have been successfully sent, the status of the application changes within 24 hours: “accepted from the applicant” - “sent to the department” - “accepted by the department”. A day after the application is accepted by the department, an OLRR employee should contact you - he will confirm that everything is in order and clarify when to approach for a license. As a rule, the entire procedure takes no more than a month.

After this, you wait for the visit of the local police officer, who must confirm that you do not have any charges for administrative offenses, and check compliance with the conditions for storing weapons - make sure that there is a gun safe and that it is installed correctly. If there are no comments, he signs an Act on compliance with the conditions for ensuring the safety of weapons and ammunition. If the local police officer does not show up, it makes sense to take the initiative and contact him.

If everything is in order, in a month (or even earlier) come back for a “green card” - permission to purchase weapons. Don’t forget to take with you the originals of all collected documents, and your passport, of course.

6. Purchase of weapons. There are plenty of gun stores and the price range is very wide. It makes sense, before going to a gun store, to firmly decide what exactly you need, and then select stores based on the assortment offered, the cost of goods and the distance from your place of residence.

Action plan. When going to the store, be sure to take with you your passport and licenses for purchasing weapons obtained from the OLRR.

An acquisition license gives the right to purchase one weapon. You can own a maximum of five smoothbore hunting rifles at the same time. Larger quantities require permission for collecting purposes.

7. Registration of weapons and receipt of ROC After the weapon has been purchased, all that remains is to register it with the OLRR and obtain a ROH - permission to store and carry weapons. There is no point in delaying registration - the time allotted by law is only 14 days.

Action plan. You submit applications one by one through the portal or go to the OLRR, you need to have with you - licenses for the purchase of weapons, and the purchased weapon itself. OLRR employees check the numbers on the weapons, keep the purchase licenses, and instead give you a certificate for transporting the weapon home. After 14 days, instead of a purchase permit, you receive a ROC.

That's it, from now on you legally own a weapon - you have exercised your right. The ROC is valid for 5 years, then the permit must be renewed. During these 5 years, to obtain new permits for the purchase of weapons, you will not need to provide either medical certificates or certificates of completion of weapons courses - only an application, a passport of the Russian Federation and the Russian Academy of Arts.

First, you need to decide what you need the weapon for. The fact is that the set of documents you will need to purchase a weapon will depend on your choice.

If you want to purchase a weapon for shooting sports, then you will need to confirm your status as an athlete with two documents:

• a sports passport or an order from a sports organization or educational institution confirming participation in sports using firearms;
• a petition from an all-Russian sports federation, accredited in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, for the issuance of an appropriate license indicating the type of sport associated with the use of sports weapons.

To purchase weapons for self-defense, you will not need any special documents, but there is a nuance - if you purchase weapons for self-defense, you will only receive permission to store, but not to carry, weapons. This means that you will not be able to practice shooting, because the weapon will have to be stored in your home.

In addition, you will not be able to obtain the right to purchase rifled weapons in the future, whereas a hunting or sports license will allow you to do this under certain conditions.

The easiest way in this situation for a beginner is to obtain a hunting license and then obtain a license to purchase hunting weapons. After all, in this case, you will be able to use your existing weapons for self-defense at home, and go hunting, and engage in shooting sports. Moreover, the procedure for obtaining a hunting license is as simple as possible and quite efficient.

4. What to do after receiving a license?

A month after submitting the documents, your district department for licensing and permitting (OLRR) will issue you one or more licenses to purchase smooth-bore weapons (depending on the number you indicated in the application). The license is valid for six months. During this time you will need to purchase a weapon. If during this time you do not use the license, then it will need to be returned to OLRR.

The physically issued document consists of three identical parts (one of them is called a license, the other two are duplicates), one of the parts will remain with the seller after the purchase, the second is transferred to the OLRR, and the third remains in your hands.

To purchase a weapon in a store, you must go there with a passport and a purchase license. After the purchase, instead of a license, you will have in your hands the weapon itself, a technical passport and a duplicate of the license.

If you buy a weapon secondhand, you can re-register it at the nearest weapons store or at the licensing department at the place of residence of the weapons seller. In any case, you will have everything the same in your hands - the weapon itself, a technical passport and a duplicate license.
