Firearm owners in South Africa collect a lot of paperwork: license cards, competency certificates, training certificates, association and dedicated status certificates, and SAPS receipts. The LicenseWatch Document Wallet keeps a copy of each one on your phone, so you can find it when a dealer, association or police station asks.
What you can keep
- ID document
- Firearm license cards and temporary authorisations
- Competency and training proficiency certificates

- SAPS application receipts and proof of purchase
- Photos of your safe and anything else you need
