Registration

Uruguay has a comprehensive National Firearms Register dating from 1943, which is maintained indefinitely through the issuance of Arms Possession Permits to persons authorized to bear weapons. All Customs operations relating to the import, export and transit of firearms, ammunition and explosives and related materials must be checked, authorized and properly registered.

Uruguay also participates in regional and international meetings aimed at strengthening cooperation on information exchange, particularly in the context of the Common Market of the South (MERCOSUR), so as to ensure a rapid and effective response to requests by national and foreign authorities for information about firearms.
