Licence renewal for individuals
The Canadian Firearms Program (CFP) sends licence renewal notices to valid individual licence holders three months before the date of expiry. Before renewing your licence, you will need:
- current spousal information (including date of birth, address and phone number)
- previous spousal information (including date of birth, address and phone number) if within the last 2 years
- payment information (credit card)
- electronic (digital) version of your photo (photo requirements for a firearms licence)
Note
If available, your current or former spouse, common-law, or conjugal partner may sign the application electronically.
You cannot renew your firearms licence online if any of the following conditions apply:
- you are requesting a religious exemption from providing a photograph with your licence
- you already have a licence renewal application in progress
- your licence has expired or is otherwise no longer valid
- your licence is a Minor's Licence
To renew your firearms licence, you must provide your firearms licence number and other personal identification information. When the CFP confirms your identity, you can verify the status of your application.
To renew your firearms licence, you can:
- complete an online application using Individual Web Services; or
- complete and submit an Application for Renewal of a Firearms Licence for an Individual (RCMP 5614).
