State duty for a weapons permit in 2021

Whatever actions you decide to take with a weapon, you must first inform the police. Actions mean purchasing, receiving as a gift, processing for storage and wearing. By taking responsibility for handling a weapon, you subconsciously agree to all the requirements that the licensing department imposes when applying for a permit.

General information about the procedure for issuing a license increases the likelihood of success. It should be noted that the percentage of refusals when considering applications is quite high.

Frequently asked questions include different wording regarding the size of the state duty required by law for permission to store and carry. To give an objective coverage of this issue, we will have to recall some basic provisions for maintaining records for hunting and self-defense weapons.

Payment of the state fee to renew a permit to carry a weapon

The taxpayer must also remember that before obtaining a license, it is necessary to take special courses, after which the prospective owner of the weapon receives a certificate of ability to handle it.

The payer must understand that the conditions for obtaining a permit may differ for carrying different types of weapons. So, in order to obtain a license for a hunting rifle, an individual will first need to obtain a hunting license. Its registration occurs once in a lifetime, so it is a fairly simple step.

Some recommendations

In cases of death of the owner of a hunting rifle, his relatives are obliged to hand over this combat unit to a consignment store for subsequent sale.

If a weapon is lost or stolen, the owner of this combat unit must immediately report this incident to the local internal affairs agency. Buying and selling hunting rifles, as well as ammunition outside of stores, for example in markets or from hand, is strictly prohibited.

State duty for renewing a weapons permit in 2021

Aerosol-type weapons (gas guns, spray cans, etc.);
Weak pneumatic weapons, the caliber of which should not exceed 4.5 mm;
All types of stun guns;
Some types and varieties of ancient weapons (muskets, sabers, machine guns of historical value).

This also applies to the validity period of a particular permit. As a rule, this period is five years. After each expiration of the period, it is necessary to renew the permits and, again, pay the so-called state duty and the state budget.

Changing of the living place

Persons who own weapons are required to know that as soon as they change their place of residence, for example when moving to another region, they are required to go to the local licensing department and deregister their weapons there. And then, at your new place of residence, you must again go to the licensing department and register your weapon there. The procedure is simple, so there is no need to delay it. If everything is done on time, you will be able to avoid any problems later.

State duty for weapons permit 2021

State duty for obtaining a weapons license This list of documents will be required again to renew the license or extend it. We recommend reading: Article “murder” of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation The amount of state duty for gun owners will be increased Today, the amount of fees for issuing (when extending the validity period, when re-issuing) licenses and permits in the field of weapons circulation are determined in the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of June 8, 1998.

N 574. This regulatory act is supposed to be replaced by a special article in the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

State duty for renewal of a weapons permit in 2021 When obtaining a direct license for a certain type of weapon, it is necessary to collect a fairly large number of certain documents. It is also equally important to obtain a number of certificates.

Doctors such as a narcologist and a psychiatrist must attest to the fact that you are completely healthy in one case or another. This is very important for obtaining permission to store and directly purchase a particular type of weapon.

Main features of the state tax The state duty on weapons has its own nuances. Since individuals often purchase weapons either for self-defense or for hunting, it should be understood that not all weapons are given the right to carry.

Deadlines

In general, the registration procedure is very simple. The only thing that must be observed is all established deadlines for re-registration of smooth-bore hunting weapons. These include the following:

The application must be submitted 3 months before the weapons permit expires.
The license is valid for 5 years from the date of its issue.
The issue of license renewal is considered within 10 days. If the decision is positive, then within the next 14 days you must go to the licensing and permitting department to obtain your license.

Peculiarities of paperwork for storing and carrying weapons

According to Russian law, it is prohibited to freely purchase, transport and store weapons. Failure to comply with these laws carries fairly severe penalties. However, it is assumed that with special permission, citizens can purchase self-defense weapons or hunting weapons, store them and, in some cases, even use them.

A gun store will sell weapons and ammunition for them only after presenting a special document, and a citizen, after purchasing a traumatic pistol or hunting rifle, is required to register them in the licensing department. Such departments are created in departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the National Guard and deal exclusively with permitting activities.

The right to purchase weapons is established within the framework of current legislation. The main regulatory document is the Federal Law “On Weapons,” which we will analyze.

Requirements for applicants

Those citizens who have applied for a license must remember that the law provides for several criteria.

The purchase of weapons is only possible for adult citizens of the Russian Federation with permanent registration.
The next requirement is the presence of a medical certificate with the obligatory mark of a psychiatrist and narcologist, as well as an innovation introduced in 2021 - a chemical blood test for the content of narcotic substances.
The trustworthiness of a citizen who intends to carry a weapon is determined by internal affairs bodies upon request. Over the past year, the applicant should not have had any administrative penalties, and he should not have been charged with criminal charges at all.
Finally, everyone who wants to legally store weapons is required to take special courses on safe handling of weapons in government institutions, as well as organizations and training centers that have the necessary accreditation. Proof of this is a certificate of the established form, as well as an act of verification of the acquired knowledge.

How to get a license

It is important to remember that after receiving the treasured document you will have to visit a gun store. The date of purchase should be remembered well, since from that moment the person who purchased a gas or traumatic pistol, barrelless weapon, signal or bladed weapon has 14 days to register it with the OLRR.

To obtain a license, you need a personal statement, a copy of your passport, a medical certificate, a certificate of completion of courses, an exam certificate, and a report made by the local inspector based on the results of checking the safe.

A similar list of documents will have to be collected when renewing the license. An exception is the certificate of completion of courses. The algorithm for obtaining a license may look like this:

Obtaining a hunting license. To do this, you will have to contact the animal protection department or the nearest branch of the MFC.
Installation of an iron safe for future weapons.
Passing a medical examination.
Weapon safety training.
Exam.
Buying weapons. As mentioned above, the registration period for purchased weapons expires in two weeks.

What documents are required

In order to go through the procedure of re-registration of a weapon or renewal of a license, the following documents may be needed:

Identification document of the owner of the combat unit. This may be a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation. The original document and its copy are required.
Two matte photographs measuring 3 x 4 cm.
Medical certificate. It should contain the conclusions of an ophthalmologist, narcologist, psychotherapist and therapist.
A copy of the hunting license. It is imperative to copy the pages that confirm payment of membership fees. In addition, the seal of the relevant hunting enterprise must be present.
Weapon.
Application for hunting.
Old permission.
State duty receipt. Payment is made according to the details of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.

These are all the necessary documents for re-registration of smooth-bore hunting weapons.

State tax

A one-time fee, which is better known as a state duty, cannot be characterized by a simple number indicating the amount of deductions, since it has its own special formation mechanism. Let's start with the fact that buying a weapon does not mean permission to use it.

The law provides that a citizen has the right to purchase weapons for self-defense or for hunting. Thus, he does not have the right, for example, to buy a sniper rifle.

One of the documents required to be presented, both when obtaining a permit and when extending it, is a receipt for payment of the state fee. The legislative framework has changed the payment procedure from October 1, 2021.

The law also determines the cost of the document. If previously it ranged from 30 to 100 rubles, depending on the type of weapon, now the price has increased significantly.

State duty is provided for almost any government service. It is paid according to the given details, and the receipt is provided to the licensing department. The full text of the tax regulations is published in Article 333.33 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

Re-registration procedure via the Internet

Many people ask whether it is possible to go through the procedure for re-registration of smooth-bore hunting weapons via the Internet?

If it is not possible to go to the licensing and permitting department or there is no desire to stand in lines or simply waste your personal time, then you can submit an application for re-registration via the Internet. To do this, you need to go to the State Services website.

If you have not used it before, you must first go through the registration process. Then you need to follow all the requirements step by step, and then fill out the application.

Next, you need to wait, employees of the licensing and permitting department will definitely contact the applicant and invite him to a meeting. The Internet simplifies the procedure a little, but in any case you will need to come to the permitting department.

The application, which was submitted on the State Services website, will only be the basis for considering the applicant’s case. And you will need to go to the permitting department in order to provide the originals of all the necessary documents. If the entire procedure is completed correctly and all documents are provided, there is a high probability that the applicant will receive a positive response.

When filling out an application on the State Services website, you will need to collect the same list of documents as when submitting directly to the LRO. In fact, these procedures are practically no different from each other.

There are situations when, at the time of re-registration, citizens are asked to provide photocopies of documents about their level of training, as well as knowledge of the rules for the safe use of weapons. However, as a rule, it does not work on smooth-bore weapons.

How much is the state duty on weapons?

There is no single amount that you will have to pay for a license. The amount of the payment depends on whether a particular type of weapon is being purchased for the first time, the weapon is being re-registered, or a state fee is being paid to renew the permit.

In order to purchase a license for a smooth-bore hunting rifle belonging to the LLC, an amount of 2,000 rubles is now charged. Note that previously you had to pay only 100 rubles for the same service.
To obtain a permit for a rifle, you will also have to pay 2,000 rubles, instead of the previously provided 200. However, it should be remembered that the registration procedure itself is complicated by some additional requirements. In particular, the age limit for citizens is 21 years. Before receiving a permit, the applicant must have owned a smooth-bore weapon for 5 years, and the need to carry and use a rifled gun must be documented (work in hunting).
The state fee for renewing a license for gas weapons, as well as for permission to carry bladed weapons, will be 500 rubles from October 2021. Bladed weapons are allowed to be worn only with national costumes. Previously, such a permit required a fee of only 30 rubles.
Renewing your shotgun license is much cheaper than purchasing it for the first time. The law of the Russian Federation sets the fee at 500 rubles. As a comparison, we note that until October 2017 this amount was only 10 rubles.
Renewing a permit for rifled weapons will cost 500 rubles. This procedure will have to be completed once every five years.
Please note that transportation of weapons or ammunition across state borders is also subject to collection. When importing or exporting, the payment will be 500 rubles.
A permit to store premium weapons is relatively inexpensive. The relevant document will be provided after payment of a fee of 50 rubles.

The authors of the tax bill, which came into force in 2021, motivated the increase in the cost of the license by the fact that the costs of conducting permitting work have increased significantly. The state duty is aimed solely at covering the costs of maintaining all accounting documentation.

Reasons for refusal

It is imperative to know that the procedure for re-registration of your weapon is a process in which a negative decision can be made. Therefore, in order to avoid such situations, it is necessary to follow certain rules.

Reasons for refusal to issue a permit:

If a person was brought to administrative responsibility more than twice within one year and his violations related to the protection of public order.
The application was submitted three months before the current license expired.
There is no safe designed for storing weapons. That is, initially, at the time of registration of the weapon, it was there, then for some reason it was gone.
The person has been registered with a drug treatment or psychoneurological clinic for 5 years.
The deadline for registering weapons has expired.
The design of the weapon has been changed. And this is illegal. However, this fact can only be revealed through ballistic examination.
There is a weapon malfunction.

If any problems are discovered in the design of the weapon, employees of the licensing and permitting department set a time frame within which such defects must be eliminated.

And it is imperative to remember that if a person commits any intentional crime and is in prison, his permit may be taken away.

Payment of state duty on the government services portal

According to Russian law, a citizen has no right not only to carry, but also to store firearms and some types of pneumatic weapons without the appropriate permit. A permit can be issued by the OLRR department for no more than five years.

It takes some time to renew documents. As practice shows, it can vary from several weeks to a month.

The fact of filing an application does not grant the owner the right to store weapons, therefore citizens who did not manage to renew their license before its expiration date violate the law.

The step-by-step algorithm for applying to the OLRR through government services is as follows.

You need to log in to the portal using your account and find the service you need.
Depending on the technical capabilities of the licensing department you choose, you can either submit an application electronically or register in an electronic queue.
Regardless of the method of submitting the application, the citizen must wait for a personal call from the OLRR.
While waiting for a call, you must pay a state fee. Here you can do it in any convenient way. 1) Pay the fee using the specified details at Sberbank terminals or ATMs. 2) Pay the fee directly at the bank, and the operator will be able to help fill out the payment document. 3) Pay the fee from a bank card directly on the government services portal.

Remember that contacting the OLRR online does not relieve you of the need to prepare other documents. As before, you will have to undergo a medical examination, prepare photographs, present a passport and a hunting license.

For those who are encountering work on a single portal for the first time, we provide an example of actions with the interface.

Log in to the resource gosuslugi.ru.
We go through the authorization procedure by entering the phone number and password.
Go to the “Service Catalog” tab.
We find the item “Security and Law and Order”.
Click on the link “Permission to store and carry weapons.”
Select the desired service from the list.
By clicking on the “Get service” button, you must select one of the proposed options. This is either signing up for an appointment online or submitting an application online.
If you are registered correctly on the State Services portal, then all personal data is taken from a common database, so when submitting an application, the first columns will be filled in automatically. However, it is recommended to check that the data is up to date.
From the drop-down list, select the licensing and permitting department.
We enter information about the current permit (when providing the renewal service).
Fill in the column containing the address of weapon storage. It may or may not coincide with the registered address.
The following is an optional step. The fact is that the portal allows you to upload screenshots of the necessary documents (medical certificates, permits, passports). But you will still have to visit the department where the required documents can be provided in originals.

Application processing time does not exceed 2 days. In practice, everything happens even earlier.

Personal information will be entered into the general database of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You must monitor the status of your application in the message feed from the portal.

Data processing may take approximately 30 days. After a positive decision is made, you will receive a corresponding message in your feed.

Only after this is it recommended to proceed to paying the state duty.

A hunter's favorite hobby comes with considerable costs. In addition to a hunting rifle and other equipment, you must pay for the right to hunt. In this article we will talk about the state duties and fees that the hunter will have to pay.

How do I receive a receipt upon completion of payment?

The receipt after payment is a mandatory document. It must be presented at the Ministry of Internal Affairs office to obtain a license. When paying online, the system offers to print a receipt immediately after the transaction. If you don’t have a printer at hand, you should save the document in PDF format and print it at your nearest copy center.

When paying through a cash desk, a receipt is issued by a bank employee. When making a payment through an ATM or terminal, the system will at the end ask you to print a receipt. We must agree. The machine will issue 2 receipts. One is a payment receipt, the second is a receipt of cash. If the device does not issue a receipt, you need to call the technical service number. It is indicated on or near the device itself. By phone you should provide the ATM number (also indicated on the device) and address. Technical support will tell you how to receive a check.

For performing many legally significant actions, a person is charged a mandatory payment - a state duty. Its size is set by the state and is the same for all citizens. Many people do not know about the State Services portal, but it provides a discount when paying state fees from electronic wallets.

Getting a license

When we have all the documents in hand, we submit an application for a license. This can be done either in person at the OLRR or through State Services. Regardless of which option you choose, it will take up to 30 days to produce the document - and rarely can you get it faster. The validity period of a license to purchase a weapon also does not depend on the method of obtaining it and is 6 months. During this period, you can purchase weapons products both in a store and from a private seller.

The difference between electronic and personal submission lies, first of all, in convenience. At OLRR you can spend quite a long time in queues, but through your personal account on State Services you can do everything as comfortably as possible. The only thing is to carefully check all the data you enter on the portal. Any typo will result in your application being rejected and you will have to resubmit and wait 30 days again.

And how much a weapons license costs depends on the application option you choose. If you visit the OLRR in person, you will have to pay 2,000 rubles. When paying the fee through State Services, there is a 30% discount - i.e. you will pay only 1400 rubles.

After your application for a license is accepted by the department, you will definitely be visited by a local police officer. His task is to make sure that you have provided the necessary conditions for storing weapons and ammunition (in other words, you have installed a safe). The district police officer must also confirm that you have no prior police reports or other disciplinary contraindications. If no violations are detected, he issues the appropriate Act. If the local police officer is in no hurry to visit you, then you can contact him yourself.

In any case, you will have to go to the licenses and permits department to obtain a ready-made license. Don't forget to take the original documents with you.

Login to your personal account

If you log into the portal not under your profile, the site will be purely informational in nature. Here you can find the service you need, but you won’t be able to apply for a weapons permit renewal through government services without logging into your account.

Therefore, the first thing we do is look for the “Personal Account” link in the upper left corner of the page and, by entering your phone number with a password, we get into your account. Now we have access to all services, which are divided into groups and marked with special icons. If you don’t know which category your service belongs to, use the search bar.

We buy a safe

In accordance with the current legislation, citizens are required to store weapons and ammunition in special weapons cabinets or safes with a reliable locking system installed at the place of registration of the owner.

There should be no problems with purchasing a safe. On sale you will find a lot of options of different brands, sizes and weights and a wide price range. Just make sure that your entire future arsenal, including ammunition, will fit in it. A supply of free space won’t hurt either - in the future, if you want to buy additional weapons, you won’t have any problems storing them.

For greater reliability, and also to ensure that inspectors do not have any complaints, install the safe in a non-accessible place, hidden from prying eyes, and securely fasten it to the wall.

Deadlines for re-registration when moving

If a person who owns a combat unit plans to change their location permanently, they need to know the procedure for replacing their license.

This procedure has a fairly strict time frame. Therefore, while the issue of relocation is being resolved, it is imperative to take care of the status of the current license. As soon as a person arrives at a new place of residence, he has exactly two weeks to change his license.

And to do this faster, you can apply through the State Services portal. Thanks to the electronic queue, you can significantly save time.

Let's start with registration

To receive services, you must be a registered user. During the registration procedure, many citizens refuse the services of the portal. The authors of many articles are somewhat disingenuous, skipping the registration procedure, implying that it is an elementary process. In fact, this stage should be given some attention.

We go to the portal by entering www.gosuslugi.ru in the address bar. On the right side of the page, click the “register” button. Next we get to a form in which you should enter your last name, first name, phone number and email address.

By filling out these details, you will receive the most simplified registration possible. It will not be enough for you, since the functionality is limited. With this registration you will not receive services that allow you to renew your license. You will need at least a standard account.

To do this, we continue the registration steps by filling out the profile. It indicates passport details and SNILS number. After confirming the form, a notification will be sent to your email with all your profile data, however, the information is verified by the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation and the PVS, so be prepared to wait several hours. When creating a verified account, you will have to come to the MFC with documents. This is where the confirmation will happen.
