Article 78. Repair Requirements

Firearms restoration must be conducted in authorised repair shops [armouries], run and supervised by a qualified armourer [gunsmith]. To this end, individuals or legal persons, holders of a valid firearm licence or certificate, wishing to have their firearms repaired, must submit a simple copy of the relevant licence or certificate to the owner of the repair shop issued by DIASP, along with its original for comparison, as well as a simple copy of their personal identity card, along with the firearm. The repair shop owner must keep a control book, with details on all firearms that were received for repair or maintenance, with identification details of their owners.

In case of the restoration of a firearm that is not covered by a firearm possession certificate or a licence to carry firearms, the authorisation of the repair shop [armoury] must be cancelled and the firearm must be seized, without prejudice to the criminal responsibility of the owner, or manager, or administrator of the repair shop [armoury], for illegally possessing firearms.
