not sure if its the same form for renewal and first time applicants but I found this a few nights ago..




Items 1-6: Self explanatory. Use full names and do not use abbreviations in addresses.

Item 7: The majority of us will check “individual”. When I asked ATF about other category examples they gave museums as a corporation and a partnership as being held by several friends. It still lacks distinct clarity.

Item 8: If you want to pay via credit card, fill this section out. Make sure that you use the billing address of the credit card if it is different from where you want the license address to go to. Make sure that you sign the authorization to allow ATF to charge the card.

Item 9: For each person

1. Make sure you use your FULL name, no initials.

2. Social Security number and position. In the case of an individual, you can use “owner”. I would think that “collector” would work also.

3. Give your FULL mailing address. If you can, do not use abbreviations at all. If you lived at other addresses in the past 5 years, you will need to note them as well.

4. Give country of citizenship. Note: if you are a nonimmigrant alien, you will need to complete items in #10. For a definition of nonimmigrant alien, see the back of the form. If you are a US citizen, you will not need to complete ALL of Item #10

5. Give place of birth

6. Date of birth

7. Check your race/ethnicity. It appears this is MANDATORY, not simply requested.

8. Sex (yes please!)

9. Residence phone number, with area code.

Item 10: Fill in “A.” with your name (if you are a US citizen) then skip to Item 11. If you have nonimmigrant status you will need to fill out parts B and C as well.

Item 11. This is a new section that asks about previous FFL issuances. If you mark any YES, you will need to supply a separate sheet answering the question in detail.

Item 12&13. Make sure you check EACH of the line items either Yes or No. You may need to attach a separate explanatory page if required.

Item 14. Make sure that you check (Initial) EACH of the boxes. This is where you agree that you will check on your local laws, you will follow your local laws and also contact your local Chief Law Enforcement Officer (CLEO) (sheriff, chief etc.), which you will have to provide the NAME of and ADDRESS of.

Item 15. This certification is different and much more in depth compared to the old form. Whereas before you were simply stating you certify that the application was true to the best of your knowledge, the new form goes on to give ATF authorization to perform a background check as well as access employment, military, medical and police records. MAKE SURE YOU SIGN AND DATE THE FORM.

No, its a colored form. It will have renewal typed on it.

Just one tip- KEEP GOOD RECORDS IN A BOUND BOOK. Log everything in and out faithfully and accurately, don't wait until tomorrow. And don't do trading for a profit- if you want to trade and buy/sell to get the best collection, fine...but don't do anything that would cause you to be judged to be "engaged in the business."

Oh, yeah....keep some copies in the car and in your wallet...the best finds are surprises!

I have one. Best 30 bucks you'll ever spend. You can get dealer discounts at Midway and Brownells as well.
