To register with the Illinois State Police FTIP Program Portal, you must be one of the “responsible persons” as identified on the application to the BATFE for a federal firearms license (FFL). BATFE defines a responsible person as a sole proprietor, partner, or anyone having the power to direct the management, policies, and practices of the business as it pertains to firearms. The Illinois State Police will use the BATFE record associated to the FFL specified during the registration to determine approval to this site.
