Registering Your Weapons and Firearms at West Point

You must register your weapons with the PMO if you live in government quarters on post, or you are transporting a weapon onto the West Point Military Reservation for any reason.

Report to the PMO Customer Service window (click here for hours) after printing and filling out these weapons cards:
- USMA Form 2-177-1
- USMA Form 2-177-2

You will need a military ID card, Drivers License, Car Insurance and registration for processing.

You will also need proof of ownership and serial numbers for each weapon you are registering. DO NOT BRING WEAPONS TO THE MP STATION. As a weapon owner, you are responsible for the proper registration of the weapon on this post, as well as with local and state authorities. (Proof of Ownership may be written as either a letter or memorandum).  All privately owned weapons must be registered with the State of New York as well as West Point.
