Firearm Bill of Sale FAQ
Is a bill of sale required for a private firearm sale?
Federal law does not require a bill of sale for private firearm transfers between individuals in the same state, but many states do. Some states require all private transfers to go through a licensed FFL dealer for a background check. Always verify your state's laws before completing a private gun sale.
What should a firearm bill of sale include?
A firearm bill of sale should include the serial number, make, model, caliber, barrel length, condition, sale price, date, and signatures. Including both parties' dates of birth and ID numbers creates a stronger record. A buyer eligibility statement protects the seller.
What states require background checks for private firearm sales?
As of 2026, states including California, Colorado, Illinois, Nevada, New York, Oregon, and Washington require private firearm sales to go through a licensed dealer for a background check. This list changes — verify current law in your state before completing any private transfer.
Does a firearm bill of sale transfer liability?
A signed bill of sale documents that the firearm changed hands on a specific date. This can protect the seller if the firearm is later used illegally. However, it does not eliminate responsibility if the seller had reason to believe the buyer was prohibited. When in doubt, use an FFL.
Is this firearm bill of sale template free?
Yes, completely free. No account, no watermark. This template is for informational purposes only — always verify applicable federal and state laws before completing a firearm transfer.
