This new application for a Federal Firearms License (FFL) should be used to apply for all FFL types, including type 03 Collector of Curios and Relics.
All Responsible Persons must complete and submit Part B of the application, which is the Responsible Person Questionnaire. Supplemental Part B Questionnaires can be found at the below link.
For all license types- except type 03 Collector of Curios and Relics- applications must be accompanied by one 2"x2" photo of each Responsible Person (RP) on the license, and one FD-258 (Fingerprint Card) for each RP on the license.
Below you will find links to the required documents that are necessary to ensure a complete application. Applicants may print forms on standard white paper, but fingerprints must be taken on an FD-258 Fingerprint Card.
(This does not apply if you are submitting an application for a type 03 license ONLY)
In accordance with 33 U.S.C. §1341, ATF forms 5000.29 and 5000.30 are required only for those licensees whose activity may result in a discharge into navigable waters. The determination of whether the forms are required is the responsibility of the applicant, but may be verified by ATF during the qualification or compliance inspection or other times. Not all applicants will need to submit the forms. Generally, the forms will be required for manufacturers and only if the activity may result in a discharge into navigable waters. If applicable, the forms will be collected by field office personnel during the inspection. The applicant may face consequences for non-compliance. Once an applicant has provided these forms to ATF, they must maintain current and valid forms with the ATF or risk revocation under 18 U.S.C. §923(e).
You only need to submit Copy 1, along with any required supporting documents, to the address listed below. It is recommended you make a copy of your application before submitting it to the ATF, for your records. Copy 2 must be submitted to the Chief Law Enforcement Officer (CLEO) of the locality in which the premises sought to be licensed is located. Copy 1 should be mailed with payment, and one photograph and fingerprint card for each Responsible Person listed on the application (unless applying only for a type 03 Collector of Curio and Relics license) to:
