When a person who is resident in another country wishes to pass through this State with a firearm, they require a licence issued by the Minister for Justice.
A ‘Transit the State’ Licence is applicable where a non-resident is travelling though the jurisdiction with a firearm, but not using their firearm. An example would be a resident of Northern Ireland wishing to travel with firearms and flying out from Dublin Airport.
To apply for a ‘Transit the State’ Licence, complete the application form below and return it to:
Firearms and Explosives Licensing Unit
