You can apply for a hunting or firearm license through the appropriate government agency in Portugal. We recommend checking our guides for detailed information on the application process.
The requirements vary depending on the type of license you are applying for. Generally, you will need to pass an exam, provide identification, and meet certain age and health criteria.
Each question needs to be answered correctly 3 times to be considered mastered. Once mastered, a question moves to review and appears less frequently, so you can focus on the ones you haven't learned yet.

Class C — rifled-barrel hunting weapons (rifles).
Class D — smooth-bore hunting weapons (shotguns).
Class E — recreational weapons, air guns, and alarm guns.
Class F — collectible and historical weapons.
