GUN SHOPS
& RANGES
Federal law requires identity verification for every firearm transaction. A fraudulent ID used to purchase a weapon is a federal offense — and a liability nightmare for your FFL. Kred adds a layer of electronic validation before the paperwork even starts.
The Challenges You Face
Every industry has unique pressures. Here's what gun shops & ranges deal with — and how Kred addresses each one.
Federal Compliance
ATF Form 4473 requires valid government-issued ID. An electronic scan that validates the ID's authenticity before you begin the form adds a critical first line of defense.
Straw Purchases
Someone buying on behalf of a prohibited person often uses a borrowed or altered ID. Kred's 60+ checks flag data inconsistencies that may indicate the ID isn't what it appears to be.
Range Access Verification
Shooting ranges need to verify identity for liability and safety. Kred makes check-in fast without compromising the verification process.
Out-of-State Buyers
Federal law allows certain firearm purchases by non-residents. Kred validates all 50 state driver's licenses automatically — no need to manually look up unfamiliar state formats.

Common Questions
Does Kred replace the Form 4473 process?
No. Kred supplements it. Think of Kred as a pre-screening step — before you begin the 4473 paperwork, you verify electronically that the ID presented is authentic and data-consistent. The Form 4473 and NICS check remain required.
Can Kred read military IDs?
Kred reads any government-issued ID with a PDF417 barcode, which includes most US military identification cards. Contact us to confirm compatibility with specific ID types.
Is Kred useful for range-only operations?
Yes. Ranges need to verify identity for liability waivers and safety protocols. Kred makes check-in fast and documented, and the flagging system lets you track members and visitors.
