Firearms Licensing Requirements in the Netherlands

FIREARMS LICENSING REQUIREMENTS IN THE NETHERLANDS

In the Netherlands, we have the hunting permit also known as “jachtakte”(hunting certificate). For people outside the Netherlands (and the EU) there is a possibility to apply for a jachtakte.

Hunters from EU-countries can travel with their weapons to the Netherlands with the European Firearm Pass. Hunters from outside the EU need to have a consent for the export, import or transit of weapons and ammunition.

These hunters can apply for a consent at the Central Service for Import and Export.
The relevant forms to fill in are available here.
