To whom may I sell a weapon?

When selling weapons and ammunition, the seller is responsible for checking whether the buyer is authorized to purchase. Depending on the weapon, different acquisition authorizations are required.

Free fire arms are freely available for sale from the age of 18. Buyers must therefore provide proof of age.

For the purchase of weapons requiring a permit, a valid acquisition authorization (weapons ownership card / hunting license / ammunition acquisition certificate) must be presented in the original.

There are two ways to verify:

Original EWB

On the one hand, there is the possibility to check the original acquisition authorization. The buyer can either show this when he picks up the weapon personally, or send the original acquisition authorization - which we would advise against.

Scan of an EWB

You can also ask the buyer to send you a scan of the purchase authorization.

But then you have to make sure that the document is valid. Therefore you should contact the authority that issued the document by phone. However, the buyer should give the authority the right to confirm the information in advance. Ask the buyer to contact their firearms authority.

Are verified users automatically eligible to purchase?

No! To be verified, users must provide online identification, which establishes and authenticates the user's identity. This process is for security on Gunfinder to eliminate the use of fake profiles.

The identity verification process does not ask whether users are authorized to purchase.
