Weapons and ammunition matters

Dealing with all matters relating to the acquisition and carrying of weapons and ammunition. The Weapons Act has been amended and significantly tightened several times in recent years. As part of the implementation of EU law, the National Weapons Register (NWR) was introduced throughout Germany on 01.01.2013. In order to meet the requirements and structures of the NWR, all weapons authorities had to use a suitable weapons management program. Additional information is therefore required for applications relating to weapons law matters.
