What is an FFL Dealer?

An FFL (Federal Firearms License) dealer is a business or individual licensed by the ATF to engage in the sale of firearms. When purchasing a firearm from a private seller in another state, you must transfer it through an FFL dealer in your state.

How transfers work:

1. Find an FFL dealer near you using the search above
2. Contact the dealer to confirm they accept transfers and ask about fees
3. Provide the dealer's FFL information to the seller
4. The seller ships the firearm to your chosen FFL
5. Complete the background check and paperwork at the FFL
6. Take possession of your firearm
