Send the dealer's FFL before the seller ships. The receiving shop emails its license copy to the seller; call ahead, confirm the transfer fee and whether they charge extra for NICS delays.

Good to know

How much is an FFL transfer fee?

Typically $20-50 per firearm. Some shops discount multiples on one order and some charge more for handguns in states with extra paperwork. The fee is set by the shop, not by law — it pays for their time and the background check handling.

How to register firearm?

Firearm registration requirements depend entirely on state and local laws, as federal law does not mandate a universal registry for standard handguns or long guns. In Iowa, specific transfer reporting or permit steps may apply when purchasing or importing a firearm. You can consult any of the 26 licensed FFL dealers in Iowa for current compliance guidelines.

Can you get a concealed carry permit online?

Some jurisdictions allow applicants to complete classroom instruction online, but physical range qualification or in-person application filing is often required. Regulations vary across Iowa, where specific state police or sheriff department criteria must be met. Check with local authorities or 26 registered FFLs across Iowa for official permit procedures.
