Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(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.
