Firearm, shotgun and explosives certificates

How do I apply?

Step 1: Download the firearms dealer registration form (Form 116).

Step 2: Complete the required parts.

You'll need these details:

• your home addresses from the last five years
• your previous dealer certificate details (if applicable)
• details of all 'servants' of your dealership
• details of any relevant medical conditions that have ever been diagnosed of for which you have received treatment
• details of your doctor (GP)

You can only pay online - we'll email you a secure link you can use to make your payment.

If you’re an existing registered firearms dealer and your email system is secure in accordance with GDPR, such as CJSM, you can complete the form electronically and email it to us without the need for a wet signature. If you use this method, you can either use an electronic signature, if you have that facility, or you must type your name in the signature box along with the words 'Signed electronically' and send it to us from your registered firearms dealer email address.

Step 3: Post the completed form to:

Firearms Licensing
Humberside Police

How much does it cost?

It costs £200.
