Uncertain what you are asking. In order to purchase a firearm from a dealer in the US, you will need 2 pieces of ID, have your age and address verified, and complete a questionaire (form 4473) AND have a background check performed. That is conducted by a law enforcement agency, and verifies that you do not have a criminal history that blocks you from owning firearms, that you have not been adjudged mentally incompetent, etc. In addition, some states may require that you have a Firearm Owner's ID Card. Some states mandate a waiting period before you can pick up the gun from the dealer.
