Article 74. Firearm Registration

All permitted firearms must be registered under the name of their owner or bearer, before the General Directorate or the Control Authority; legal persons must do so before the Control Authority corresponding to the place where firearms are stored.

Article 75. All firearms that are not registered shall be submitted for control to Chile Test Bank or its regional branches or offices, in order to certify their nature, quality, security conditions and exact identification. Firearms presenting abnormalities or discrepancies in their performance or features must be returned to their owner or bearer for their repair, keeping record of what was working. Firearms which, according to this control are declared unusable and whose owner does not wish to keep under his control, shall be sent to the General Directorate Deposit in accordance with article 23 of the Act.

A firearm declared unusable by Chile Test Bank, whose owner wishes to keep it under his control shall be registered in the national register as a 'collectible firearm'.
