Massachusetts General Law c. 140, §§128A and 128B, requires all
individuals who sell, transfer, inherit, or lose
a firearm to report the sale, transfer, inheritance, or loss of the
firearms to the Department of Criminal Justice Information Services
Firearms Records Bureau (FRB). This on-line system will allow you to
report the sale, transfer, inheritance, or loss/theft data
electronically to the FRB.
Before you continue, you should have the following information available:
- A detailed description of the transferred weapon (serial number/make/model/caliber etc.)
- The Seller/Transferor's license information
- The Buyer/Transferee's license information
Additionally:
- It is unlawful to conduct a personal sale or transfer of a
weapon to anyone other than an individual lawfully licensed in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It is strongly recommended that you
require the buyer/transferee to produce a valid FID/LTC License
Validation Certificate (obtained by the buyer/transferee using this
system) prior to conducting a personal sale or transfer.
- You may need your PIN number to complete a transaction. You may obtain your PIN number at your licensing authority.
NOTICE: Firearms records are exempted from the public records
statute. G.L c.4,§7 (clause twenty-six)(j). FRB may not disseminate
firearms records "to any person, firm, corporation, entity or agency
except criminal justice agencies as defined in chapter six and except to
the extent such information relates solely to the person making the
request and is necessary to the official interests of the entity making
the request." G.L. c. 66, § 10(d).
