Did you purchase a Qualified Professional item? If so, you'll need to provide proper proof of employment with an L.E agency/etc to be able to complete the purchase.

Hi Matthew, any permits required by your state would be shown to your FFL and do not need to be sent to Bud's. The exception is if you ordered ammo with your gun, some states require a Firearms ID Card to purchase ammo. If you live in one of those states, you would need to send Bud's your ID card before they can ship ammo to your house.
It appears you are trying to order a gun designated for "Qualified Professionsals Only". Check the item again and see if it is for "Qualified Professionsals Only".

You can also call Bud's to find out exactly what they want at 1-859-368-0371 9am-8pm EST Mon-Fri. or use the Blue Chat now button at the bottom right corner 9am to 7pm Mon - Sat
Stay safe & have a great day!

Sir Matthew,
When budsgunshop.com states that your order will not ship until you provide “qualified credentials,” it typically means they need to verify your identity and/or FFL (Federal Firearms License) information to ensure compliance with federal and state regulations before shipping the firearm.
Some transfers or special items ie. Non-civilian items might require additional paperwork hence, need for special government credentials. But most likely you may need to provide a copy of the FFL license for your selected FFL dealer. This can often be uploaded directly through their website, emailed, or faxed.
Hope the above information helps Sir Matthew and do please keep us updated with the progress. We are here to help 🙏

If you purchased a Qualified Professional Only item, you'll have to provide proof of employment with an L.E agency/etc to be able to purchase the item.

Hi Matthew and welcome. You must be a qualified "First Responder" and if Military (submit form DD-214 and Drivers License). Qualified Professional information and to upload credentials here: budsgunshop.com/contact_us.php?printForm=ffl ---------- Cheers and stay safe!

Good evening to you!! The FFL you are trying to use isn't registered at Bud's. You will need them to send a copy of their FFL to Bud's. Please see below link for more information. Hope this helps. Have a good rest of your day.

What I have found is Buds does not have the ffl credentials on file for everyone. The list Bud’s gives you to select from is usually from all ffl dealers for your area. But only the ones on the list that have a hyper link look to their listing have an ffl credentials actually on file with Bud’s.
Quick and easy to get the ffl you selected to send over their information. Or quick and easy to change your preferred ffl to one from the list that has the ffl credentials already stored at Bud’s.
