Licencing applications
You will need to go through a simple registration process and get approval before you possess, buy, sell or acquire a firearm, shotgun or explosive.
The licencing of firearms, shotguns and explosives is carried out by the joint West Midlands and Staffordshire Firearms Licensing Unit.
This includes certificates issued to individuals, gun clubs, firearms dealers and visitor’s permits.
For details of how to apply for a licence for any of the above, please visit the Staffordshire Police website.
