Step-by-step FFL03 and COE Application Instructions

[Dvrjon]

This isn't for a CCW, it's for a COE (for FFL03).

Sorry….failed multitasking yesterday.

You'll get an email from CFARS saying your application is incomplete pending FFL03 number. Once you get that, scan it and upload into the file field, think I used "any other document" but it doesn't appear to matter. I replied to the incomplete email saying that it had been updated and was then approved 45 minutes later. This was January 2025 for reference

Thank you! Hoping it goes smoothly. Now I wait for my FFL03 card.

Pardon my ignorance but what does an Ffl03 get you? Does it exempt you from the roster ?

Post #8 provided this guide.

Here's the DOJ USer Guide to DFARS for COE Application.

Got the cfars email saying denied because my ffl03 is in progress with the ATF and to reload my COE once I have the ffl03. Do you get an email from the ATF? Or an actual like card or paperwork in the mail? How does the ffl03 actually come? And how long before you guys heard from the ATF?

Hello! Just wanted to do my part on here. Here is a link to a tutorial I made on applying for an FFL03 and COE!

Keep in mind that currently the CA DOJ is requiring you to provide your FFL03 license prior to issuing your COE. It seems that the previous method of writing them back and asking for them to proceed due to a pending FFL03, is now being rejected. I will be working on an updated video to reflect these changes. However, the application instructions are still current.
