The Nine Federal Prohibition Categories DOJ Identifies
Being in one of these categories means DOJ says the individual may apply. It does not mean relief will be granted.
People prohibited because of a qualifying felony conviction.
People prohibited because they are considered fugitives from justice.
People prohibited because of qualifying unlawful controlled-substance use or addiction.
People subject to the federal mental-health-related firearm disability.
Certain people in the United States unlawfully or under a nonimmigrant visa.
People prohibited because of a dishonorable discharge from the Armed Forces.
People who renounced United States citizenship and are subject to the federal prohibition.
People subject to a qualifying court order involving an intimate partner or child.
People prohibited because of a qualifying misdemeanor crime of domestic violence.
DOJ separately identifies presumptive disqualifiers. Some applicants may be permitted to submit an application but face a presumption of denial unless extraordinary circumstances overcome it.
Corporations and Other Entities
DOJ says corporations or entities that lost federal firearms rights will be handled separately from individual applicants. DOJ's current public page says more information on that process will be provided separately.
State and Tribal Firearm Rights Are Separate
DOJ expressly says the federal FFRR application process does not automatically restore state or tribal firearm rights. A federal result and the law where the person lives must be reviewed separately.
