Firearm Safety Certificate

Where can I obtain a Firearm Safety Certificate?

Everyone hunting in Prince Edward Island is required to be in possession of a Firearm Safety Certificate. All persons wishing to acquire a PEI hunting licence are required to exhibit a Firearm Safety Certificate to the licence vendor. Vendors are prohibited from issuing a licence to any person who does not possess a certificate.

All hunters are advised that it is illegal to hunt without a Firearm Safety Certificate in their possession.

Firearm Safety Certificates are available free of charge from the Forests, Fish and Wildlife Division as follows:

1. All first-time hunters and all individuals born on or after September 1, 1968, are required to successfully complete a Firearm Safety Course before being issued a PEI Firearm Safety Certificate.
2. All individuals who were born before September 1, 1968, and who have hunted previously, can apply for a PEI Firearm Safety Certificate by signing an affidavit.

Changes of address or lost or stolen cards should be brought to the attention of the Forests, Fish and Wildlife Division of the Department of Environment, Energy and Forestry.

Non-residents are advised that Firearm Safety Certificates issued by the province, state, or country where they live are accepted in PEI.
