FFL Processing screen
Welcome to the FFL Processing screen. This screen will help you to transfer firearms to FFL dealers. Usually done when shipping firearms out of state or to other firearms dealers in your state.
Status bar:
Across the top of the screen you will see a status bar. This will show you where you are in the firearm transaction process. Presently the firearms have been selected, now we need to verify the FFL number.
Verify FFL Number:
Before transferring any firearms to an FFL. Make sure to verify the FFL number using the “Verify FFL Number” link.
Next Button:
Transferring firearms to an FFL requires the FFL number verified and not expired. If the FFL is true and not expired, the Next button will progress to the tender screen, then allow you to complete the transaction releasing the firearms to the FFL.
If the FFL is expired, the Next button will tender the transaction, but it will only create a hold transaction. Firearms cannot be released until the FFL is not expired.
