Alternative to myID: Most people use myID to log into the Western Australia Firearms Licensing Portal. If you do not wish to do so, please contact the Transition Team on 1300 894 474. You will be required to undertake a 100-point ID check. Once your identity has been verified and your details have been captured, Licensing Services will consider that you have pre-registered for the alternative method. Further instructions will be provided in the future to facilitate your access.
Transitioning
Existing licence holders are being assisted by a dedicated transition team to facilitate their transfer to the new licence types.
If you are an existing licence holder you will be contacted prior to your renewal date. You will be advised what information is required to support your renewal. There is no need to contact Licensing Services prior to the team contacting you. If your licence expires during this time, your transitional authority expiry date replaced your licence expiry date.
To use your firearms within WA, use your paper licence and transitional letter and copies of any extensions granted. Dealers will accept these documents when purchasing ammunition.
If via email, you have provided storage or other matters in support of your transition, the auto reply received is confirmation that you can continue to use your licensed firearms under your transitional authority.
