How long is a firearm registration certificate valid in Washington D.C. before it must be renewed?

  1. 2 years

  2. 3 years

  3. 5 years

  4. 10 years

The correct answer is: 5 years

In Washington D.C., a firearm registration certificate is valid for a period of 5 years before it must be renewed. This allows the authorities to stay updated on the ownership of firearms within the district and ensure that individuals with proper registration certificates are abiding by the law. Option A (2 years), Option B (3 years), and Option D (10 years) are incorrect as they do not align with the specific renewal period required for firearm registration certificates in Washington D.C.
