What documents do I need to bring to the FFL for my background check?
- Your valid state issued driver’s license or ID card with current home address listed
- If your current address does not match your ID, bring a document to establish your current home address (recent utility bill)
- Your permit-to-purchase, if applicable. More than a dozen states require various kinds of permits before purchasing firearms and/or ammunition. Examples include California’s Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC), Illinois’ Firearm Owners Identification Card (FOID), and Massachusetts’ Firearm Identification Card (FID).
