Before you can apply for a Federal Firearms license, you must set up a secure place to conduct your firearms business. Your application for a license will be denied if the ATF finds that you have not established an appropriate and secure place to conduct business. In the secure area, your guns must be stored in an organized manner and they cannot simply be lying around randomly in boxes. You must have them organized in a planned, efficient manner. Everything in your potential place of business must be in order and fully functional before you even think about applying for a license.

When you apply for your FFL you must submit to the BATFE regional office the following: AFT form 7, fee, photograph and fingerprints that you have obtained from a law enforcement agency. To find out the correct BATFE, write to P.O. Box 2994, Atlanta, GA 30301 or call them at 404-417-2750. The fee you send depends on the type of application you want. Here is a sample list of initial application fees:

For Other than Destructive Devices

Manufacturer $ 150
Importer        $ 150
Pawnbroker    $ 200
Dealer           $ 200
Collector        $ 30
For Destructive Devices
Manufacturer  $ 3000
Importer        $ 3000
Dealer           $ 300

Once you are approved for a license, it will be valid for three years at the location that is shown on the license. If you have other business locations, then you will need to apply for a separate license for that location. You cannot transfer your FFL and as a licensee you must comply with all federal record keeping requirements. You will be subject to annual inspections to make sure that you are in complete compliance. If you are asked for specific information from the Secretary of the BATFE, you must respond no later than 24 hours after the request.

The FFL requirements must be followed carefully and it is extremely important that you know how to get an FFL license before actually filling out an application. It is no use sending in an application if you have not met pre-application requirements.
