What Motivus is

The software drafts. The expert is accountable.

Motivus helps you prepare a firearm-licence motivation and the associated SAPS forms under the Firearms Control Act. Every motivation is reviewed and signed off by a firearms law expert before it is released - nothing legally consequential reaches you unchecked.

How it works

A recorded review, not a rubber stamp

Tell us your case, we draft it subject to your unique circumstances, a firearms law expert verifies it and signs it off, and you file with confidence.
