How much does a weapons licence cost?
When you apply for a weapons licence, you will need to pay fees:
- For new applications, you will need to pay an application fee and an amount for each year of the licence duration.
- For licence renewals you do not need to pay the application fee, but you still pay an amount for each year of the licence duration.
The fee varies depending on the type of licence you require, as well as how many years you need it for.
