Certification, Licensing, and Special Requirements
Certification or Licensing
A federal firearms license is required for gunsmiths who run their own businesses. Gunsmiths who repair firearms for a licensed employer often do not need a license themselves. Applications and more information about the application process are available at the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives' Web site, https://www.atf.gov/firearms/apply-license.
