You must apply for a replacement document if a licensing document according to weapons legislation was lost or has become unusable (also known as a “replacement copy”). This rule applies, for example, for arms possession cards, alarm gun licences and hunting licences.

No replacement copy is issued for:

• invalid permits,
• an arms possession card, if all entered weapons were lost or transferred,
• a firearms licence or alarm gun licence, if you are no longer interested in having a weapon.

If you find any lost documents again, these must be returned to the authority without delay, if you have received a replacement copy.
