New routines in weapons management: Purchase of weapon

The Governor only processes applications for a permit to purchase firearms for polar bear protection in Svalbard. This applies to Norwegian citizens and foreigners who are registered in the population register in Svalbard. Application forms for the acquisition of weapons are available from the Governor or a weapons dealer.

All applications for the acquisition of firearms and weapon parts for hunting and sport shooting for persons with a registered address on the mainland must be submitted via www.politiet.no.
