Firearm Registration Forms
Iowa does not require individuals residing in the state to formally register a gun with state authorities. Although a resident can purchase a long gun with no necessary licensure, to effectively buy a handgun will obligate you to obtain a permit to purchase a handgun. You can apply with the following documents at your county sheriff’s location:
- A filed and endorsed Application for Iowa Permit to Acquire a Pistol or Revolver
- An Iowa driver’s license or ID card
- Funds to pay for the necessary permit costs
