Firearms Dealer Employee Background Check

General Information

Learning the laws regulating the sale of firearms is Firearm Dealer’s responsibility. Local and Federal regulations differ and laws vary from state to state.

In Washington State, law enforcement agencies are required to follow local, state and federal guidelines when performing the necessary background checks for employees working in Firearm Dealer’s shops. Due to the detailed nature involved in conducting these background checks processing times can vary. Your employer will be notified when all required background checks have been completed.

The shop you are employed at MUST be within Spokane County to apply at the Spokane Police Department.

For a Background Check, you will be required to schedule a fingerprint appointment.
