What is required to purchase a firearm from a private seller in Arizona?

Background check
Concealed Weapon Permit
Nothing is required
State ID or Driver's License

The correct answer is: Nothing is required

In Arizona, when purchasing a firearm from a private seller, there is no requirement for a background check or any formal process mandated by law for the transaction. This means that individuals can buy a firearm without needing to provide proof of identification or undergo a background check. Private sales are relatively straightforward; as long as both parties are of legal age and not prohibited from owning firearms, they can complete the sale without additional requirements. While stricter regulations may apply when purchasing from licensed dealers (such as the necessity for background checks), private sales operate differently under state law. This lack of requirements for private transfers is a defining characteristic of Arizona's gun laws, facilitating easier access to firearms among individuals without the oversight that applies to commercial transactions. It is worth noting that while nothing is legally required for the transaction itself, having a state ID or driver's license is a common practice for establishing identity and ensuring that both parties are aware of their legal responsibilities. However, the law does not mandate this as a part of the private sale process.
