Instant Web Gun Check System (Dealers)
Welcome to the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification’s web based background checks.
This site is available to assist federally licensed firearms dealers in processing background checks for the purchase of a firearm. The web-based gun checks system allows you to submit background checks via the internet any hour of any day. This will allow you to run transactions more quickly, free up your phone line and personnel, view all checks your store has run in the last twenty days, verify your billing, and check on transactions in research to determine their status.
All that is required to run background checks over the web is a computer with internet access so that you may reach our website at guncheck-agency.ps.utah.gov. Each person conducting background checks for your business will be required to sign a user agreement. Your business will then be assigned a unique identifier and each person will have their own logon identification, PIN and password. The instant web gun check system is user friendly and an instruction manual can be found on our website under the Instruction Manual link, however, if you are interested we are always available to do training over the phone and may be able to schedule training at your store.
To receive access to run web-based background checks, or for questions regarding your existing account, please contact Lance at 801-964-4517 or ltyler@utah.gov. You can also download a contract from our website under the User Contract Form link and fax or mail it to us at the destination listed below.
