Weapons legislation – Reporting the loss of weapons, ammunition or documents

If you have found that weapons requiring a licence, essential weapon parts, ammunition, licensing documents according to weapons legislation or a valid hunting licence were lost, you must inform (notify) the weapons authority immediately upon becoming aware of such loss. This rule applies independently of any reports filed with the police due to theft etc. The weapons, weapon parts, licensing documents under weapons legislation or hunting licences which you report as missing will be added to the list of stolen items that are to be traced. The weapons authority must be informed immediately, if any items that you have reported as missing are found again fully or in part. Delays in reporting may result in a fine.
