Travel to Northern Ireland through Great Britain by land

You will require two documents:

If you cannot get a GB visitor’s permit (which requires a GB sponsor) then the firearms may be transported by an agent (courier service) to the address in Northern Ireland where the firearms will be securely held during your stay. You will have to personally and legally accept delivery of your firearms from the agent at the specified address. If you are not there, the firearms will not be released.

Our specially trained officers are here to help with your enquiries and you can contact the Firearms and Explosives Branch by email: firearms@psni.pnn.police.uk or call your local police on 0845 600 8000 for more information.
