C&R licence Question

[Mutant]

"I'm so confused." --- Vinne Barbarino

Can one use dowloaded forms to send to BATF as an application for C&R licence or do you have to use forms mailed to you by the BATF???

I seem to get different impressions from different forums, or even from the same posts on the issue.

Best to use what they send you... I used a downloaded form once and they rejected it due to that it was an old form that they no longer accept... so i used what they sent me and no problems.

It used to be that there were no forms available online. Now they are:

http://www.atf.gov/forms/download/atf-f-5310-16.pdf

Afaik they have been using the same form for about 5-6 years. The above is identical to the forms they sent me, and I filled out, in 2007

My local BATF sent me forms this year which were several years out of date. Download and follow the above gentleman's very helpful instructions.

in reading the write-up above of how to fill out the form, i realized that under "title" i didn't know what to put and so put "self" - wonder if that will cause a delay and/or rejection of my application?

I don't think so. On my first C&R application I put "owner" for title.. It wasn't until I read through their recent documentation that I saw they where looking for "collector". I didn't have any problems with the application.

Isn't the Certification of Compliance redundant for an individual especially if they are a citizen? The info they are asking on that form is only needed if there is more than one person, on the C&R app. Otherwise its question #10 on the C&R app.

From the ATF website (emphasis mine)

In addition to the below documents, applications must be accompanied by a signed Certification of Compliance (ATF F 5330.20) for each additional Responsible Person (RP) on the license, if applicable.

I just re-read the ATF web page and now I believe it is required for everyone. The entire context of their statement is:

In addition to the below documents

================================================== ========

The key words are "in addition to".. So Every application includes 5310.16 and 5330.20 AND each additional responsible party includes another 5330.20

Well they must have let me slide, cause all I sent in was the Application for Federal Firearm License, and they billed my card today.

But like I said, read question 10 and read the Certification of Compliance, they are the same thing. Why would they need it in duplicate. And as a US citizen, I am not an non-immigrant alien that needs to comply with anything.

that doesn't mean anything. They get the money portion taken care of in the beginning, and then they work on your app later on. Just cause they charged your carddoesn't mean that you will be approved.
