The Outgoing FFL Transfer Process

1. Initiating the Transfer: A firearm that is sold online, and/or crosses state lines, requires two FFL Dealers to legally transfer your firearm.
2. Seller’s Requirements: The seller must agree to ship the firearm from North Scottsdale Loan and Guns to the second FFL dealer to complete the transfer. It is crucial that the seller includes their FFL information or a copy of their government-issued ID if they are a private seller.
3. Providing Necessary Information: The buyer must provide North Scottsdale Loan and Guns with the seller’s contact details, the firearm’s make, model, and serial number, and their contact information.  In addition, the buyer needs to provide the information regarding the FFL to ship the firearm’s to.  Directories such as FFLGundealers.com will provide multiple dealers to choose from to complete the transfer.
