The cost of a gun license in the Philippines, specifically for a License to Own and Possess Firearms (LTOPF), varies depending on the type of license you apply for. This type determines the maximum number of firearms an individual is permitted to own and possess.
For private individuals and professionals, the regular rates for LTOPF are categorized as follows:
| License Type | Maximum Number of Firearms (FAs) | Regular Rate (PHP) |
|---|---|---|
| TYPE 1 | Up to 2 FAs | 1,000.00 |
| TYPE 2 | Up to 5 FAs | 2,000.00 |
| TYPE 3 | Up to 10 FAs | 3,000.00 |
| TYPE 4 | Up to 15 FAs | 5,000.00 |
It's important to note that these fees specifically cover the cost of the LTOPF itself. Additional requirements, such as neuro-psychiatric tests, drug tests, gun safety seminars, and clearances (e.g., from the National Bureau of Investigation or police), will incur separate costs not included in the LTOPF fee.
