NICS check ID question

[bsctov]

I want to buy a rifle today, but my State issued ID card expired in august, will i need to go get a new one first or will the FFL take the expired one?

You're getting a new card.

Need *valid* ID.

Darn, I was suspecting that was the case but just wanted to make sure, I hope they are even open today.

Yep you need a new VALID id card. I tried to buy my last handgun with my ID card and during the date of purchase it was valid, but during the 10-day wait ( I hate CA) my license had expired and earned me a denial. Had to go to DMV, get a renewed license, wait for the hard copy in the mail, then go do the NICS check again. Took over a month from start to finish.

I think that any current photo ID with physical address (not PO box) and DOB will work for firearms ID in most states not needing a special permit. Glad I live in the free state of Maine.

It has to be government issued, still valid and establish the identity, place of residence and age of the buyer. Not too many things other than a driver's license or ID card will do all that. See page 5, section 20a:
