    From https://www.firearmssafetyauthority.govt.nz/firearms-registry/when-register-or-update-your-information
    If no activating circumstance applies to you before 24 June 2028, you’re required to provide information for the Registry by 31 August 2028.
    If you have a garden and a library, you have all you need. Oh, and a dog, and a rifle

    Did mine today. Have to say the sites clunky, not intuitive, and not particularly logical. Once you get to the actual firearm registration it’s easy enough. Although you need to know your rifles.
    What really assumed me was the “Realme” log in. I did mine on my iPad, and it notified me of a data breach and recommended I change my Realme password.
    So while on the Realme page, I search for change my password.
    Nothing, pages upon pages of how to change my gender. Change my name, change my pronoun. Change my ethnicity. But change my password? No sir.

    It's super easy. Just log in on the Realme page and go to settings. Option to change password is right there.
    Realme also uses 2FA which is good and recommended to set up if you haven't already.

    .....but then again....why engage until you need (are forced) to?

    Thanks Coop, that was easy. Don’t know why I couldn’t find it the other day. Even more perplexing is when you use their help there’s nothing there.
    Probably because it’s so straightforward they didn’t expect some dumbarse to ask

    Sorry if this has been covered but 41 pages was a bit much to read through.

    Can we see what rifles are actually registered to us? All I can see is a pdf of my submission, how can we check if they are transferred to someone else if we sell them, the website says we must ring them and let them know.
    But is there a paper trail etc for us to prove we actually did this. And can we see it is no longer in our name?

    @Nasty Factory Trigger - be glad you didn't live in South Africa. The local NZ police station needed to break out an actual ink pad fingerprint kit for me - something they had not done for a while. That form needed to be filled out, signed and witnessed, and sent to South Africa by courier. Still, despite that, it was cheaper than your UK experience! Fun times!

    Just registered my guns. That was painful.

    When filling out your licence details, your name has to be exactly the same as on your FAL (i.e. capital letters). I missed that and had to phone them. After being on hold for a good while, nice lady said it was a common problem and the form should be made to default to capitals. Also, don't use autocomplete on the forms and make sure there are no spaces after your names.

    Gun registration was a headache. To my mind, it suggests that use of the Firearm Reference Table ID is optional. It is not! Put some details in to the form (e.g. manufacturer; calibre) and then hit the search button to find your gun. Some pitfalls, it looks like a fairly comprehensive list, but it is not.

    That's an hour of my life I won't get back, but it's done.

    I did mine over the phone. Easy.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    Haha. No. I got some nice young lady who was very paitent while I pulled my firearms out of the safe one by one and gave her the details.

    Sorry if this has been covered a million times...whats the deal if an unreged person sells their rifle do you have to reg it first or does just the new owner have to reg it?

    I just copied this from the arms site mate

    The first time you sell or supply an arms item, you must record it in the Registry and provide the following details at the time of the sale or supply, or immediately after: the date you handed over or dispatched the arms item, and. the name and licence number of the person to whom the item was delivered.

    Just going through the process now as have just moved. Had to go through that RealMe identification thing which was bad enough let alone the registering part.
