Before a FFL is issued as a Dealer or Manufacturer, you must be in compliance with state and local laws. You will need a business license, and a location that is zoned to permit a business to operate. These are not required for a Collector's FFL. You then apply to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives for your license. You will need to submit the application, a Certification of Compliance document (citizenship) fingerprint cards, two passport type photos, and payment for the license. You can find details and forms at the ATF website. You must be 21 years old.
