FFL Dealers in Virginia
1,374 federally licensed firearms dealers across Virginia, from the ATF’s published licensee list. Pick a city for names, addresses and phone numbers.
This is the ATF licensee list — who holds a licence and where. It is not opening hours, not transfer fees, and not a guarantee that a given dealer handles private-party transfers. Call before you drive.

- Virginia requires every private firearm sale to go through a licensed dealer, so an FFL is not optional here — you need one of the dealers below.
- Transfers between immediate family members are generally exempt in Virginia, though documenting one is still worth doing.
- UBC since 2020. One-handgun-a-month re-enacted 2020.

Another 811 Virginia dealers are in towns with fewer than 8 licensees each, so they do not have a page of their own. Search by ZIP code to find those.
Doing the transfer itself
A dealer handles the background check. The bill of sale, both parties’ records and a permanent copy of the paperwork are what Gun Transfer does — $50 flat, about ten minutes.
