Requires dealers to verify seller/pledger identity using specified documents (U.S. passport, driver's license from any state or Canada, or state identification card) and record this information locally for 3 years instead of reporting to CAPSS.

Authorizes use of technology including cameras or software to obtain information and verify identity remotely.

Mandates dealers provide law enforcement with recorded identification information immediately upon request or no later than the next business day when an item is reported lost, stolen, or embezzled.

Removes requirement to include seller/pledger certification of ownership or sales authority in CAPSS reports; dealers must maintain this certification and a legible fingerprint locally for 3 years.
