What this is
The stamp duties for firearm carry permits are non-tax revenues under the responsibility of the Ministry of Territorial Administration (MINAT), through the Directorate of Political Affairs. These revenues are established to cover the administrative costs related to the processing of applications, verification of legal and regulatory requirements, and the issuance of firearm carry permits. They ensure compliance, traceability, and legality of authorizations in accordance with national regulations on security and arms control. The collection of this revenue is managed by the Directorate of Political Affairs of MINAT, which determines the amount and oversees its administrative monitoring. Upon payment, an official receipt is issued to the applicant. This receipt serves as the legal proof of payment and is a prerequisite for the effective issuance of the firearm carry permit.
