Dealing in firearms or ammunition in Botswana requires a dealer’s licence issued by the Central Firearms Registry. We prepare an internationally benchmarked application pack that satisfies both the registering officer and any overseas supplier needing to see compliant storage and record-keeping.

• Premises-security audit against ISACS 03.10 storage requirements
• Strong-room specification and fit-out brief
• Electronic stock-control and register-keeping system specification
• Export/import documentation framework (ATT-aligned)
• End-use certificate templates
• Liaison with the Central Firearms Registry through to issuance

Who it’s for

• Licensed dealers and gunsmiths
• Armouries supplying private security firms
• Sporting and hunting retailers
• Companies acquiring existing dealer licences via transfer

Why The Secretary

• Specialist legal and compliance practitioners with ATT and UN PoA experience
• Physical-security advisors who design strong-rooms that actually pass inspection
• Record-keeping systems compliant with ATT Article 12 record retention
• Discretion and confidentiality protocols built into every engagement
