Licence holders may be required to photograph firearms for the purpose of positive identification in the Firearms Registry. Find out what you need to do if you are required to photograph your arms item.
To register a firearm, you must know what type (for example rifle, shotgun etc) it is, as well as its make, model, action, calibre/gauge and, if it has a non-detachable magazine, how many rounds it can hold.
Your firearm should have a marking (serial number) on the receiver, action or frame.
Call us on 0800 844 431 between 8.30am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
If you're not in New Zealand, phone: +64 4 499 2870.
If you're a firearms licence holder, have your licence number handy when you call.
