The Friend Character Reference Letter For Firearm is a mandatory requirement in the Philippines' firearm licensing process, established under Republic Act 10591 (Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act) and related PNP regulations. This document is required when individuals apply for a License to Own and Possess Firearms (LTOPF) or seek to renew their existing license. The letter must come from a credible individual who has known the applicant personally and can attest to their character, mental stability, and responsible behavior. The reference provider must be willing to be contacted by authorities for verification and must include specific examples and observations that demonstrate the applicant's suitability for firearm ownership. The document serves as a crucial component in the overall assessment of an applicant's eligibility to own and possess firearms in the Philippines.
