The certificate is issued on the basis of the medical history of the family doctor. The presentation must then take place at the competent offices of the Police or Carabinieri (therefore police station or barracks), specifically those in which the weapons in possession have been reported.
If, on the other hand, the person who owns a firearm is the holder of a firearms license, the obligation to present the medical certificate starts from deadline of the same, if not renewed. In case of no show, the ban will take effect. The validity of the hunting license will remain valid for five years from exact day of release. The same discussion just discussed must be made for the license to carry firearms for sporting use.
