ATF Electronic Transfer Regulations
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has established regulations regarding the electronic transfer of firearms. These regulations are meant to ensure that all transfers of firearms are in accordance with applicable federal and state laws. All firearm transfers must be conducted by a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL).
The FFL must conduct a background check on the transferee, which includes a review of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). Additionally, the FFL must maintain accurate records of all firearms transfers, including sales and transfers. For electronic transfers of firearms, the FFL must obtain a valid photo identification from the transferee. The FFL must ensure that the transferee is not prohibited from possessing a firearm. The FFL must also use an ATF–approved secure transaction system for conducting the transfer.
Upon completion of the transfer, the FFL must provide the transferee with a copy of the ATF Form 4473, which serves as proof that the transfer has been completed in accordance with federal and state laws. The ATF also requires that the FFL must contact the local law enforcement agency prior to transferring any firearms. This helps to ensure that the transfer is in compliance with all applicable laws.
