To apply for a weapons licence in Queensland you must do the following:

1. Meet the personal eligibility requirements.
2. Have a genuine reason to hold a licence.
3. Have access to secure weapon storage.
4. Complete an approved weapons safety course covering the category of weapon you’re applying for and provide your statement of attainment. The course must have been completed within the 12 months before the date of submitting your application.
5. Provide the supporting documentation requested during the application process.
6. The name, date of birth and address that you provide with your application must match the documents you provide to prove your identity. For example, if there are any spelling mistakes in your name or if you have a middle name that you don’t provide with your application but is on your proof of identity documents, you may not be able to complete your proof of identity.
7. Pay the required fees.
8. Once you have submitted, you will receive an email requesting you attend a participating Australia Post outlet to provide your proof of identity.  You will also have your passport quality photograph taken (free of charge) at your local participating Australia Post outlet.

Please note that this process will be covered in the course content in more detail.
