License to Own and Possess Firearm (LTOPF) Itself Process - December 2016

The jumble of License to Own and Possess Firearms (LTOPF) documentary requirements that people will have to collect and go thru.

On the same day I finally got the last of the results for my License to Own and Posses Firearms (LTOPF) requirements, I went out and applied for the LTOPF itself. For this I went to the main office of the Philippine National Police – Firearms and Explosives Ordinance (PNP-FEO) which is at the other end of Camp Crame opposite that of Gate Two. I arrived there at 11:40 am, so I immediately went to the Help Desk to ask for help on how to go about the process.

DAY ONE

’Document Check’
The lady at the desk told me to go to the Document Checker after doing the following:
- Fill up two copies of the Application Form for the LTOPF, attach my 2” x 2” sized Identification (ID) pictures on it, and then have it notarized
- Photocopy ID documents, on separate papers
- Put all of the requirements on an envelope

License to Own and Possess Firearm (LTOPF) Requirements Process - December 2016

The requirements for the License to Own and Possess Firearms (LTOPF) as posted on December 2016 outside the Firearms and Explosives Divsion (FED) of the Philippine National Police (PNP).

I went thru the process of acquiring a License to Own and Possess Firearms (LTOPF) and renew my Firearms Licenses recently, and it was one hell of a saga, hence I decided to go and blog about it. This will be the first of a couple of parts, probably three parts, we’ll see, and this first one covers only how I got the REQUIREMENTS, not the LTOPF itself, but just the requirements.

There are a couple of ways and outlets where one can go about getting these requirements, but I decided to just go directly to Camp Crame to make sure I followed the correct procedure, and hopefully to get it sooner also (how wrong I was, I found out later).
