Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 49, December 6, 2024

Section 5514 - Application Fees

(a) The initial fee for submitting an application for a unique serial number is $46.19. This fee will cover the $31.19 cost for the firearms eligibility check conducted by the Department and the issuance of one unique serial number for one firearm or firearm precursor part. If the applicant has multiple unserialized firearms or firearm precursor parts or intends to manufacture or assemble multiple firearms, the applicant may request multiple unique serial numbers during the same transaction. It will be an additional $15.00 for each subsequent request for a unique serial number within the same transaction. Effective January 1, 2023, a person is prohibited from manufacturing more than three firearms within this state in a calendar year unless that person is a licensed manufacturer. Otherwise, there is no limit to the number of unique serial numbers that an applicant may request within a single transaction.

(b) The fee for the firearms eligibility check and the issuance of a unique serial number for the unserialized firearm or firearm precursor part shall be paid online by debit or credit card at the time the application is submitted to the Department for processing. If the fee is not paid, the application will not be processed.

(c) Once the firearms eligibility check is completed, an electronic copy of the determination letter will be available on the applicant's CFARS account for a limited time. It is the applicant's responsibility to save the determination letter for the applicant's records. The Department will not mail a physical copy of the determination letter to the applicant's residence after the firearm eligibility check is conducted.
