Firearms Purchase Background Check Address Verification Form

Streamline Firearms Purchase Verification with Paperform

For federally licensed firearms dealers (FFLs) and gun shop owners, processing background checks and verifying customer residency is a critical compliance requirement. This Firearms Purchase Background Check Address Verification Form template helps you collect all necessary documentation in one organized, secure digital form.

Why Use This Template?

Federal law requires firearms dealers to verify a purchaser's identity and residence before completing a transfer. This template collects government-issued ID, proof of residence through utility bills or lease agreements, concealed carry permit information (if applicable), and dealer transfer details—all in a single streamlined workflow.

Built on Paperform's secure, SOC 2 Type II compliant platform, this form ensures sensitive customer information is collected safely and can be stored or integrated with your record-keeping systems. The document upload fields make it easy for customers to submit clear photos of their ID, utility bills, and permits, reducing back-and-forth communication and speeding up the verification process.

Perfect for FFLs, Gun Shops, and Firearms Dealers

Whether you're a brick-and-mortar gun shop, an online firearms retailer coordinating transfers, or a shooting range with retail operations, this template adapts to your needs. Customize the conditional logic to show relevant fields based on state requirements, transfer type, or permit status.

Use Stepper (stepper.io) to automate your post-submission workflow: send notifications to your compliance officer, create records in your inventory management system, or trigger follow-up emails requesting additional documentation if something is incomplete. With Paperform's native integrations, you can also log submissions in Google Sheets, Airtable, or your CRM for easy record-keeping and audit trails.

This template is designed for firearms industry professionals who need to balance regulatory compliance with customer convenience, ensuring every transfer is documented properly while maintaining a professional, efficient customer experience.
