Collect your firearm renewal licence
Applicants are encouraged to report to room 17 or 22 at Ladysmith SAPS between 7.30am and 4pm to collect their licences
The Ladysmith Designated Firearms Office (DFO) would like to inform the communities of Ladysmith, Bergville, Upper Tugela, Ematsheni, Colenso, Ezakheni, Ekuvukeni, Elandslaagte, Besters, and Van Reenen that there are hundreds of firearm licence renewal cards that have not been collected by applicants. These licences are currently at the Ladysmith SAPS Designated Firearms Office and are for applications that were made before July last year.
The DFO is having difficulty contacting many applicants, since many of them have since changed their address and / or contact number.
Applicants are encouraged to report to Room 17 or 22 at the Ladysmith police station between 7.30am and 4pm to collect their licences or make enquiries concerning their applications.
The public are also advised to take cognizance of the fact that in terms of the Firearm Control Act 60 of 2000, it is the obligation of the applicant to inform the Designated Firearms Control Office of any change of address, as well as telephone number. So if you are a firearm owner and have had a change of address or contact number, let the Ladysmith DFO know about these changes as soon as possible.
The office can be contacted on 036-638-3402 or 036-638-3311 during office hours.
