The government of Javier Milei has taken another step in simplifying procedures for firearm ownership by eliminating the mandatory annual fee previously required from gun users in Argentina. 

Through Resolution 77/2025, published in the Official Gazette and signed by Juan Pablo Allan, director of the National Agency for Controlled Materials (ANMAC), both the annual re-registration and the annual fee for Commercial, Collective, Hunting, and Shooting Club Licensees have been removed. 

Under this new measure, manufacturers of civilian and conditional-use firearms, ammunition and special materials, armored vehicle assembly and repair workshops, verifiers and upgraders of armored installations, and commercial ammunition reloaders will no longer need to re-register every year, as they previously did. 

Previously, users were required to pay an annual fee ranging from 20,000 to 200,000 pesos, depending on the category. With the new regulations, this payment will now be due every five years. Users were also required to declare any changes in corporate structure or leadership during each renewal. 

Resolution 77/2025 further establishes that users must notify ANMAC within 30 days of any changes to the information or conditions presented at the time of registration, streamlining the process and reducing bureaucracy. 

Statement from the Ministry

From the Ministry of Security, led by Patricia Bullrich, officials explained that the measure “streamlines processes without weakening controls.

The objective is clear: reduce unnecessary burdens and make it easier for those in various sectors to comply with regulations while contributing to the country’s industrial, sports, and commercial development.” 

The new resolution is part of the government’s broader agenda to simplify and deregulate the state, aiming to reduce bureaucracy, costs, and administrative burdens for citizens. 

With these changes, the government seeks to maintain control over firearm ownership and use while making compliance more straightforward and efficient, thereby strengthening security and transparency throughout the country
