What to do in case of theft or loss of a weapon?

In case of loss or theft of a weapon, a weapon element or ammunition of categories A, B or C, you must declare it immediately with a police station or a gendarmerie brigade.

Your return must spell out precisely the circumstances of loss or theft.

You must also specify the mark, on model, on gauge, on serial number and the category the weapon, weapon component or ammunition concerned.

The police commissioner or the gendarme brigade commander gives you a loss or theft report receipt.

If you are holder of an account in the AIS, you must report the theft or loss of the weapon in the AIS: titleContent by producing a copy of the receipt.

The police station or gendarmerie then sends your declaration to the prefecture that granted you the authorization or issued the declaration receipt.

A new authorization may be issued upon your request.
