FIREARM FAQs

No. Motivations are typically required for licence applications (SAPS 271). Some DFOs may request additional context, but a formal motivation is not standard for competency.

Timelines vary by station and workload. SAPS does not guarantee timeframes. We focus on complete, compliant packs to avoid avoidable delays.

Use our Competency & Licence Downloads page for key downloads and checklists. Official forms are also available from SAPS channels.
