South Australian licensing

Official licensing information, in one place.

Licensing rules can change, so applications and legal questions should always be checked against current South Australia Police information.

Review the SAPOL information

Start with the current South Australia Police firearms licensing page and read the published eligibility requirements.

Have the identification and supporting information required by SAPOL ready before you begin the application.

Submit the application and any supporting documents using the process set out by SAPOL.

SAPOL will advise you if any further information, approvals or next steps are required.

Finish any firearms safety training or related requirements listed in your approval correspondence.

Once you are ready to buy, speak with the store so licence, permit, transfer and collection requirements can be confirmed for the item you want.
