Apply for small arms license

Source: BUS Rheinland-Pfalz

If you have alarm, irritant and signal weapons with PTB approval marks in the district (so-called SRS weapons) outside of

  • your own home
  • your own business premises or
  • your own contented property (for example your own garden)

you need a small firearms license for this purpose. However, carrying an SRS weapon at public events is generally prohibited.

The small firearms license is not valid for compressed air weapons, spring-loaded weapons andCO2 weapons marked with an "F" symbol.

It is recommended that you inform yourself in detail about the regulations of the weapons law before applying.

If you are carrying an SRS weapon, you must have the small firearms license with you and be able to identify yourself with an ID card or passport.

The small firearms license is valid indefinitely.

You may be denied the small firearms license if you have not resided in Germany within the last 5 years.

If you move to another city or municipality, you do not have to have the small firearms license rewritten.

If you handle weapons and ammunition without a required weapons permit, you may face a fine or imprisonment.
