How to Fill eForm 1 Guide (Up-to-Date)

How to Fill eForm 1

• First, you have to register an account by signing up on the ATF website (https://eforms.atf.gov/EForms/) by providing your name, title, email, address, zip code, telephone, and fax. This will give you access to the system. You’ll then have to indicate your user ID, password (should be complex), secret security question and answer, and the last four digits of your social security number.
• You’ll then log into your account using the credentials used for registration. After that, navigate the website and choose ATF eForms – Form 1. Once you’ve accessed it, the filling process begins.
• Choose whether you’re applying as an individual or as a trust. Ensure you go for the right choice as there are different requirements for both.
• Choose the type of application. This step is mandatory regardless of whether you’re filing as an individual’s trust. Select the Pay Tax option and pay $200. You can also share your internal control number if you have one, or you can leave it blank if you don’t have one.
• Choose the non-FFL radio button on the applicant page. This option is valid for both individuals and trusts applying for eForm 1. However, the only difference lies in the requirements. You’ll be required to present the applicant submitter title, trust name, and additional trust information necessary for trust. As for an individual, most of your credentials will be automatically acquired from your profile. You’ll also be requested to answer some marked questions with a typical “yes/no” response.
• Proceed to the “Responsible Person” section (only available for trust applicants). This section allows you to add all the necessary information about all the parties involved in the trust’s responsibilities. You’ll have to include all the trustee’s data separately. You are also required to upload a trustee photo and the 5320.23 form. An SSN and UPIN are not mandatory as not many people have one. You can add or remove the responsible trustees through the action button.
• Individual applicants will be required to present the Chief Law Enforcement Officer information. All individuals in a trust should have their information matching with the one provided in the 5320.23 form.
• You’ll then be required to write about the ATF eForm 1 item you want to make in the line item section. Click on the “Add firearm” button to get a directory to where you fill in the information about the item. You ought to type FMI at the manufacturer code section to make it possible for you to submit it as an ATF eForm 1. You should also click on the verify manufacturer button to unlock the country. If you’re building it yourself, the country should be the USA.
• Moving on to the line item screen, a drop-down menu will allow you to select the product type or use the radio button if you don’t find your item on the list. That will enable you to create a new one. Creating a new item will require you to provide the model, units of measure, serial number, caliber, general and barrel length, the state to conduct your operations, and description.
• On the next page, you can view electronic documents, which are only available for TRUSTS. This is where you’re required to upload a copy of the signed and notarized trust documents. Only an approved application as a maker or transferee is needed in some cases. This approved application cannot be changed from the documentation previously provided.
• Now you’ll need to complete the application on the “certify page.” It would be best to go through all the information provided as it is crucial. Press the “click to pay” button to submit your payment credentials. Finalize by signing & submitting, and that’s it.
