What is the minimum age to apply for a firearm registration in Washington, D.C.?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 25 years old

  4. 30 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

To legally apply for a firearm registration in Washington, D.C., the minimum age requirement is 21 years old. Option A (18 years old) is incorrect because this is the minimum age requirement for purchasing a long gun, but not for applying for a firearm registration. Similarly, option C (25 years old) and option D (30 years old) are incorrect as there are no specific age requirements for firearm registration at those ages. It is important to note that even if an individual meets the minimum age requirement, there are still other eligibility criteria and background checks that must be passed in order to obtain a firearm registration.
