The Online Firearm Licensing Services is a collaboration between Victoria Police and Service Victoria.
Using Service Victoria, you will be able to manage some firearm applications and processes online.
About the Online Firearm Licensing Services
You may be able to use Service Victoria to:
- renew your firearm licence (for some licence holders)
- access a digital version of your firearm licence.
The program aims to make your licensing experience more convenient.
Access to your digital firearm licence
Individual firearm licence holders (excluding firearm dealer licences, corporate firearm licences and junior firearm licences) can add their current firearm licence to their Service Victoria digital wallet.
The digital licence will show:
- your latest licence details, and
- the conditions of your licence.
Plastic licences cards will continue to be issued by post.
Renew your firearm licence online (for some licence holders)
Eligible individual firearm licence holders will be able to submit their licence renewal online through Service Victoria. Renewal paperwork will not need to be returned to LRD.
Licence renewal packs will still be mailed to all licence holders before their licence expires.
Changes to licence photo requirement for firearms and private security
When you apply for a firearm or private security licence, your photo will be re-used for up to 10 years.
If you have had your photo taken in the last 10 years, you will not need a new photo.
When you need a new photo taken
You will need to have your photo taken at an authorised photopoint if:
- you are a new licence applicant
- your photo is older than 10 years old
- you are a junior licence holder moving to an adult licence.
