How long does it take to get a gun licence in South Africa? The short answer is that SAPS have 120 working days to process an application. If you are a first time gun owner, you will need to submit two applications to SAPS.

How long will the Competence and firearm license take from the SAPS? It depends on the load they have, approximate and normally 12-15 weeks for the competence and another 3-6 weeks for the license.

Before you may possess a firearm, you must obtain a firearm licence from the South African Police Service. You need a licence for every firearm that you possess. Potential firearm owners must successfully undergo the prescribed training at an accredited training institution and obtain a competency certificate.

Your SAPS is linked to your longest valid licence's expiry date, even though there may be a different expiry date on the competency certificate. Competency for handgun is valid for 5 years and for rifle, shotgun or self-loading rifle is valid for 10 years.

Just like the competency application, all you will need to do is provide us with some basic info and collect your completed application from us. Our fee for this service is R1350.

You need a licence for every firearm that you possess. A list of accredited training institutions is maintained on the South African Police Service (SAPS) website. You must renew your firearm licence at least 90 days before the expiry date.
