Weapons Licensing Question (Enquiry) Form

Weapons Licensing receives a large volume of enquiries from the public in relation to a wide range of firearms and licensing related matters. Before submitting this form please review the Weapons Licensing web page and any relevant legislation which may be able to assist in answering your question.

Weapons Licensing is an administrative unit and cannot provide legal advice or specific interpretation on the application of legislative framework which may be relevant to your question. Should you require legal advice or interpretation, it is recommended that you seek the advice of an appropriately qualified legal practitioner.

If the firearm/s are registered in another state or territory, then proof of registration to the deceased in that state or territory, will also be required. To help the transfer, the firearms should be transferred from an interstate dealer to a Queensland dealer.

If the firearms owner died without a will and the Public Trustee of Queensland is appointed as the executor, we require a letter from the Public Trustee of Queensland to confirm the transfer can occur. In this circumstance , Schedule 2 of the Succession Act 1981 (Qld) will help with the distribution of the estate.
