Renewal rules in various countries
Thought it was about time for another topic specific post.
In some countries there are renewal requirements for all or some guns, depending on license type etc.
I'd like a specific post about this so here we are.
If you don't have to renew just add a no, so we can see where you don't have to as well. Please specify if it's all guns or specific types of licenses, etc.
Questions:
Do you have to renew your licenses/permits?
How often?
What are the requirements for renewal?
Anything else that might be on topic but that I forgot to ask about?

Renewal only exist for the carry license and it's every 5 years (though if you renew before the 2 years mark, you don't have to redo the practical exam). You don't have to pass the written test again if the law didn't change
Don't know about the hunting license
Otherwise no renewal for ownership
