Provide valid ID and proof of residency 4. Submit to fingerprinting 5. Disclose any criminal history, restraining orders, or mental health commitments

You cannot obtain a license if you have outstanding warrants, active restraining orders, or unresolved drug/alcohol treatment within the past 5 years.

Court appearances matter - even dismissed charges must be reported. Mental health hospitalization requires a physician's affidavit stating you're fit to possess firearms.
