Collector’s to Keep Register
A licensed collector must keep a collection register. A collection register is a book in the approved form.
A collection register - Form 16 Register of Transactions Involving a Weapon – Licensed Dealer/Armourer/Collector/Theatrical ordnance is only available from the Queensland Government Bookshop
Each transaction for the receipt, acquisition, sale or transfer of a weapon must be entered immediately in the collection register. A licensed collector must enter the following particulars in the collection register:
(a) The name, residential address and licence number of each party to the transaction;
(b) The type, action, make, model, serial number and calibre of the weapon;
(c) The magazine or chamber capacity of the weapon; and
(d) The date of receipt, acquisition, sale or transfer of the weapon.
A person must not remove a part of the collection register unless the person has a reasonable excuse.
To correct a collection register
An entry in the collection register may be corrected by putting a line through the incorrect words, without making the words illegible, and writing the correct words in a suitable place in the register.
A person is deemed to be ‘unlicensed in possession’ of a firearm, if the firearm particulars are not entered in the register without reasonable excuse.
