Detailed instructions with illustrations and an envelope are attached to aid in completing the form. There is space on each form for two guns. Registrants who feel they need more information regarding the identification of their firearms will be able to call one of the Registrar s approved volunteer verifiers for help. The two forms will be available in September, 1998. All firearm owners must have all their firearms registered by January 1, 2003.
Registration is a once-only process, valid for as long as the owner owns the gun.
Alternatively, any owner wishing to buy firearms will need a licence for acquisition. This is not new. The FACs now in place are valid until the expiry date on the certificate. Licencing forms will be similar to the existing FAC applications.
