About this directory

The FFL Transfer Directory is a searchable index of federal firearms licensees (FFLs) in the United States. When you buy a firearm online, it must ship to a licensed dealer who handles the transfer and background check. This directory helps you find a dealer near you and see whether they accept transfers, what they charge, and their hours.

Where the data comes from

Baseline licensee records — business name, location, and license type — are imported from the ATF’s published Federal Firearms Licensee list and refreshed monthly. Newly listed dealers start with a transfer status of unknown.

For dealers
