1. Government issued photo ID that shows your name, current address, date of birth, i.e. Texas driver's license.
Active-duty military may need to show a copy of your PCS orders.
2. After your ID is verified, you will fill out an ATF Form 4473.
3. The FFL will use the information from the ATF Form 4473 to run an FBI background check. There are 3 statuses from the background check.
a. Proceed - the firearm is transferred to you.
b Delay - transfer is on hold.
c. Deny - no transfer is made.
When a delay or deny is received, I am not told why, I will give you a contact card with the NICS number and you may contact the CJIS Division for more information.
