MyFirearms is our online portal that lets you provide information for the Firearms Registry and apply for and manage your firearms licensing.

You can use MyFirearms to:

• register an arms item
• complete a No Arms Item Declaration
• apply or reapply for a firearms licence
• apply or reapply for a dealer’s licence
• notify us of a change of address
• notify us of a change of health practitioner.

If you’re applying for a firearms licence, you can also apply for any of the following endorsements at the same time:

• bona fide collector
• dealer employee
• pest control employee
• pistol target shooting.

To use MyFirearms, you must have a mobile phone, an internet connection, and a RealMe login.

If you do not have a RealMe login already, you’ll be prompted to create one before you start.

Note: Your session will end if you’ve been logged in to MyFirearms for more than 2 hours, and you’ll need to log in again. Save as you go to make sure you do not lose the information you have entered. To protect your data, you’ll be logged out automatically if there has been no activity for 15 minutes.

Once saved, you must submit your application within 30 days or it will be removed from your account.

Payments can be made using a credit or debit card (Visa or Mastercard). You will be charged a credit card surcharge of 1.9%.

We process payments using our secure payment service Spreedly and Paystation. We do not keep a record of your credit card details. These details are only held within the banking system for proof of payment purposes.

Application fees are calculated at the time of submission. Payments are all converted to New Zealand Dollars (NZD$). We do not accept any risk or liability concerning foreign exchange rates or how these influence the amount charged to your card. If you have questions about the final amount charged, please contact your bank or financial provider.

It is your responsibility to make sure:

• all payment details are correct
• you are legally entitled to make the payment
• you have sufficient funds in your account.

The first time you log in to MyFirearms after 24 June 2023, you must fill in the Complete Your Profile form.

You need to provide your name, date of birth and the details of your New Zealand firearms licence, if you have one.

A MyFirearms profile is unique to each person. It will be linked to your firearms licence, so you do not need to provide these details again when using MyFirearms.

For security reasons, you can only access some information online through a validated MyFirearms account – for example, which arms items you have registered.

Step 1: Log in

Visit MyFirearms and log in with your RealMe account. You’ll need your mobile phone to carry out the security check.
