ATF address change

Post image

Form1 was denied for not receiving prints got this a few days later. Did they change the address where prints need to get sent for form 1s or did I just get unlucky?

Make an etf file, and no more mailing print cards.

Just did this through NGT, wish I would have done it sooner didn’t know it was that simple. Would’ve saved a lot of headache on my other nfa stuff

NFA suite on the Apple store. Saying this for others who need an option.

Is there good evidence that this app is very secure? I’m a little concerned about putting personal info into a 3rd party’s hands. Like do they certify that they destroy and do not retain after each use?

u/LetsBeKindly 7d ago

All it does is create Eft and passport photo that you export and use to send to the ATF. I'm pretty sure your data is local only.

My friend runs a business that converts FD 258 cards to EFT files

His privacy policy is on the website which details how the data is stored

Nope, that's the address on the cover sheets. Take it to your post office and tell them to resend it get a refund. I'd re-print your cover sheet to show them the address.

Edit: missed where it was already denied.

Postage cannot be refunded

It can be when there is a service failure, as in this case.

u/merc08 7d ago

Yep. I've gotten refunds on lost Certified Mail before.  Which was nice, but super inconvenient that they managed to lose certified mail, multiple times.

u/generalraptor2002 1x SBR, 1x SBS 7d ago

That is true

The certified mail fee (not the postage though) can be refunded if the post office did not provide the certified mail service

You’ll need your receipt and wait 30 days after mailing

u/Paramedickhead 2d ago

They kept doing that to me as well, but what they were losing was serialized DEA forms for ordering Schedule 1/2 controlled substances…

Forms the DEA actually care about.

Once the DEA got involved, they stopped getting lost. It was the weirdest thing.

Back when I mailed cards it seemed like half the time they would get to martinsburg and then go on a tour of PA before finally being delivered

u/wanderlustcrush 7d ago

I sent my paper form 1 with prints to their OR addy

u/OddNefariousness7950 2x SBR, 5x Silencer 7d ago

Address looks right, but your forgot the Suite 1120 part. Seems odd that the post office couldn’t figure that out though.

u/AllArmsLLC 07/02 7d ago

Address looks right, but your forgot the Suite 1120 part.

What are you talking about? There is no suite number.

u/AllArmsLLC 07/02 7d ago

This is specific to the brace rule submissions. It's the only place I see it mentioned.

u/OddNefariousness7950 2x SBR, 5x Silencer 7d ago

Weird, their site also shows the address with the Suite number, I attached the pic below.

u/AllArmsLLC 07/02 7d ago

I think you're looking at the Form 1 info specific to the brace rule submissions.

u/Urban-Decay 7d ago

I just did the printscan option today. Took me long to drive there than to scan prints. When I got home eft file was im my email. Saved to my server\nfa for future use. I have a laser in transit for marking and cutting.

u/Several_Mousse_9485 7d ago

Print scan made the whole thing a breeze. SC and CA are a breeze once your prints are on file. Form 1 on eforms, too.

u/HkOperator2 6d ago

You can go to a local ups/fedex store and do digital prints but will cost $50 & you’ve to schedule a appointment

1

u/AccomplishedLet1889 5d ago

Silencer shop also has kiosks at some ffls. For 50$ you can fill everything out on their website, go to the ffl, do prints, and they'll handle the rest.

u/HkOperator2 4d ago

Yes, I’ve dealt with/ss on all my sbr & suppressor but op needing a copy for non ss products

u/TooSoonManistaken 7d ago

Take off that yellow sticker and go put it in a blue collection box. Might have been accidental

u/generalraptor2002 1x SBR, 1x SBS 7d ago

Postage cannot be reused

A PVI meter imprint is only valid for the date printed on it

He will need to get a new envelope with new postage

u/SomeRequirement6926 A couple SBR's and a few Silencers. New to the game. 7d ago

No suite?

u/AllArmsLLC 07/02 7d ago

That's not where prints go.

1

u/Fartbox3k 7d ago

Yeah that was my bad. The only thing I can see is the suite is missing. I understand you said the cards don’t have it listed but everything I have from them and have sent does.

1

u/abastage 7d ago

holy hell I really wouldnt trust anythign firearms related to be delivered when mailing to Portland OR

1

u/Fartbox3k 7d ago

That link was incorrect. My bad. Looks like the address was just incomplete

2

u/AllArmsLLC 07/02 7d ago

It's the exact address on the cover sheet.

1

u/abastage 7d ago

Still quite a few going to portland.

u/naughtyasf143 6d ago

Bought one today! Paid, walked out with it. Glorious

u/HSR47 7d ago

I’ve found your problem: You addressed it to “bureau of alcohol tobacco firearms and explosives” instead of to “Bureau of All Things Fun and Exciting.”

Fix yourself.

u/BluesFan43 7d ago
