An identification document is defined by 18 U.S.C. \u00a7 1028(d) in relevant part as:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>. . .a document made or issued by or under the authority of the United States Government . . . when completed with information concerning a particular individual, is of a type intended or commonly accepted for the purpose of identification of individuals.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Question: What if in a state that does not issue non-binary driver\u2019s licenses the transferee declines to select either \u201cmale\u201d or \u201cfemale,\u201d how is the FFL to proceed? Or, if the transferee presents a current, valid driver\u2019s license that indicates one sex but selects a different sex in answering Question 6? Or, if the photograph on the government issued identification, e.g. driver\u2019s license, appears to depict one gender sex but the transferee selects a different sex in answering Question 6? What is the correct course of action in these scenarios for the FFL?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>ATF&#8217;s Response:<\/strong> The regulations at 27 CFR 478.11 further defines Identification Document in relevant part as:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A document containing the name, residence address, date of birth, and photograph of the holder and which was made or issued by or under the authority of the United States Government, a State, political subdivision of a State. . .is of a type intended or commonly accepted for the purpose of identification of individuals.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Neither statute nor regulation require the identification document contain the person\u2019s sex. Therefore, identification documents issued with binary, non-binary, or no sex designation may be used as an identification document. For example, a military identification card is a valid identification document and does not contain a sex or gender; see ATF Ruling 2001-5. Accordingly, as long as licensees verify the identity of the transferee by examining a valid transferee identification document then they will be in compliance with the GCA at 922(t)(1)(C).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Question:<\/strong> <strong>Is an otherwise properly completed Form 4473 valid if the consumer declines to answer Question 6?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>ATF&#8217;s Response:<\/strong> Completing the ATF Form 4473 when non-binary identification documents presented The Regulations at 27 CFR 478.124 state in relevant part:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>(c)(1) . . . shall obtain a Form 4473 from the transferee showing the transferee&#8217;s name, <strong>sex<\/strong>, residence address (including county or similar political subdivision), date and place of birth; height, weight and race of the transferee. (c)(3)(i) Shall verify the identity of the transferee by examining the identification document (as defined in \u00a7478.11) presented, and shall note on the Form 4473 the type of identification used;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The regulations pertaining to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) at 28 CFR 25.7 require the sex of the transferee in order to conduct a firearms background check. This information is captured on the ATF Form 4473, question #6, which requires the transferee to indicate his\/her sex (not gender) by checking or filling in the applicable box adjacent to \u201cMale\u201d or \u201cFemale\u201d. Transferees must select either \u201cMale\u201d or \u201cFemale\u201d, but cannot choose both or write in \u201cX\u201d regardless of what is recorded on the transferee\u2019s identification document. <strong>If the transferee refuses to complete question #6 then the FFL may not transfer the firearm.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>FFLs may assist transferees by pointing them to the instructions on the ATF Form 4473 or other ATF provided guidance, but may not advise transferees what to record when completing the form. Each transferee must freely answer each question based on the headings, notices, instructions and definitions contained on the form.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, section 31 of the Form 4473 is available for the licensee to document information they feel is relevant to a transaction. A licensee may use this section to note if the sex or gender listed on the valid transferee identification document is not consistent with the information provided in section 6 of the Form 4473 or their own perception.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_95060\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-31-at-2.51.08-PM.png\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"atf-genderqueer-gun-purchasers\" title=\"ATF: Gun Dealers Cannot Transfer Firearms to Genderqueers Who Fail to Check 'Male' or 'Female' on 4473s\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-95060\" title=\"ATF: Gun Dealers Cannot Transfer Firearms to Genderqueers Who Fail to Check 'Male' or 'Female' on 4473s\" class=\"size-large wp-image-95060\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-31-at-2.51.08-PM-1024x68.png\" alt=\"ATF: Gun Dealers Cannot Transfer Firearms to Genderqueers Who Fail to Check 'Male' or 'Female' on 4473s\" width=\"1024\" height=\"68\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-31-at-2.51.08-PM-1024x68.png 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-31-at-2.51.08-PM-150x10.png 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-31-at-2.51.08-PM-400x27.png 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-31-at-2.51.08-PM-768x51.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-95060\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Question 6 from the ATF&#8217;s Form 4473, Firearms Transaction Record.\u00a0 Failure to complete question 6 means &#8220;the FFL may not transfer the firearm.&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>***<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>End of Q&amp;A.\u00a0 The NSSF said that it &#8220;requested that ATF issue formal guidance to the industry in the form of an open letter.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Confused about what non-binary is?\u00a0 Check out the video below for more information:<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transferees must select either \u201cMale\u201d or \u201cFemale\u201d, but cannot choose both or write in \u201cX\u201d regardless of what is recorded on the transferee\u2019s identification document.
