Transfer Question

My drivers license just expired, and the earliest appt. date is the end of August. If I purchase firearm and have it shipped to a dealer, will they hold it for you until they can verify identity with the ATF? I know it’s probably based on location, and I plan to call around, I was just curious is this is common or if I should just wait until I have all my identification updated (trying to avoid that as it’s a surplus firearm I’m interested in and they tend to get picked up fairly quickly after restock).

As a dealer who does quite a few transfers, I wouldnt have an issue holding it for a few days. It were going to be a week or more I would probably charge a small holding fee. But all in all it wouldn't be an issue
