Once the application fee is processed, the Federal Firearms Licensing Center FFLC will enter your application information into its database and commence a full review of your application.

For all license types, except type 03, required supporting materials, including fingerprint card s and photograph s will also be reviewed. As required by law, the FFLC will then conduct an electronic background check on all the Responsible Persons you have identified on your application.

ATF defines a Responsible Person RP as a sole proprietor, partner, or anyone having the power to direct the management, policies, and practices of the business or activity as it pertains to firearms.

In a corporation this includes corporate officers, shareholders, board members, or any other employee with the legal authority described above. The ATF defines such firearms as those that have special value to a collector. A curios and relics license is neither a license to carry or use a firearm, nor a license to operate a firearms business. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives uses several criteria for deciding to classify a firearm as a curio and relic.

The firearm must be at least 50 years old at the time you apply for a license and cannot be a replica. The ATF will also recognize firearms as curios and relics if the curator of a municipal, state or federal museum that displays firearms certifies that the firearm is a curio and relic.

The ATF will also recognize a firearm as a curio and relic if its value is substantively tied to its novelty or rarity or from its association with a historical figure, period or event.
