Sec. 479.85  Identification of transferee.

    If the transferee is an individual, such person shall securely 
attach to each copy of the application, Form 4 (Firearms), in the space 
provided on the form, a photograph of the applicant 2 x 2 inches in 
size, clearly showing a full front view of the features of the applicant 
with head bare, with the distance from the top of the head to the point 
of the chin approximately 1\1/4\ inches, and which shall have been taken 
within 1 year prior to the date of the application. The transferee shall 
attach two properly completed FBI Forms FD-258 (Fingerprint Card) to the 
application. The fingerprints must be clear for accurate classification 
and should be taken by someone properly equipped to take them. A 
certificate of the local chief of police, sheriff of the county, head of 
the State police, State or local district attorney or prosecutor, or 
such other person whose certificate may in a particular case be 
acceptable to the Director, shall be completed on each copy of the Form 
4 (Firearms). The certificate shall state that the certifying official 
is satisfied that the fingerprints and photograph accompanying the 
application are those of the applicant and that the certifying official 
has no information indicating that the receipt or possession of the 
firearm would place the transferee in violation of State or local law or 
that the transferee will use the firearm for other than lawful purposes.
