Current through June 24, 2024
(1) DEALER
			 RESPONSIBILITIES. To request an approval number, a dealer shall do each of the
			 following in the sequence listed:
(a)
Require identification.
A dealer shall require each handgun
			 transferee to show the dealer, for the dealer's inspection, a reliable
			 identification document. The identification document shall include a photograph
			 of the transferee.
Note: A motor vehicle operator's license or state issued
				identification card when those documents include the licensee or card holder's
				photograph are examples of reliable identification documents. See, e.g., ss.
				343.17(3)
				(a) 2 and
				343.50(3),
				Stats.
(b)
Inspect
			 identification.
A dealer shall carefully inspect the identification
			 document, including the photograph shown by a transferee under par. (a), and
			 shall ensure that it accurately and reliably identifies the transferee as the
			 person the transferee claims to be.
(c)
Require transferee to complete
			 notification form.
1. A dealer shall
			 require each transferee to complete an official notification form obtained from
			 the department. The transferee shall fully and truthfully complete the form in
			 triplicate. The dealer shall provide one copy of the completed form to the
			 transferee when the handgun is transferred to the transferee or when
			 notification of nonapproval is given to the transferee. Within 24 hours after
			 the dealer receives departmental notification that the handgun transfer for
			 which the form was completed is either approved or not approved, the dealer
			 shall mail one copy of the completed form to the department. The dealer shall
			 retain the completed original form as required under s.
			 Jus 10.10(1)
			 (a). Each form shall have a form number
			 placed on it by the department and shall require all the following information
			 about the transferee:
a. Legal name and any
			 alias or other name used at any time,
b. Birth date,
c. Gender,
d. Race,
e. Social security number,
f. Current address, and
g. Other information reasonably required by
			 the department to ensure a reliable record search and to ensure the required
			 notification under this paragraph.
2. If a transferee cannot read or write, a
			 notification form may be completed on the transferee's behalf by a competent
			 person other than the dealer or any officer, employee or agent of the dealer.
			 The person completing the form shall do so in accordance with this paragraph
			 and with the instructions on the form and shall do so in the presence of and
			 after careful consultation with the transferee to ensure that each notification
			 form answer is truthful and complete. After a person completes a notification
			 form on behalf of a transferee, the dealer shall question the transferee to
			 ensure that the form is truthfully and fully completed and shall then obtain
			 the transferee's signature on the form. If the transferee cannot write, the
			 dealer shall obtain the transferee's mark in the signature space on the form or
			 shall obtain the transferee's name written by another person in the presence of
			 and at the request of the transferee.
Note: A copy of the notification form required by the
				department is attached to this chapter as appendix II. A dealer may request
				copies of the required notification form from the address noted in the note
				following s.
				Jus
				10.04(1).
(d)
Call
			 department.
After a transferee truthfully completes the notification
			 form in its entirety as required under par. (c), the dealer shall telephone the
			 department using the toll-free telephone number designated by the department
			 for that purpose. During the call, the dealer shall request a record search and
			 shall convey to the department, as required by the department under sub. (2)
			 (a), the material information shown on the notification form completed by the
			 transferee in accordance with par. (c).
