Pretty sure they want to see the sigs.

What you could do is upload the PDF, and then upload a second file of just the notarized/signed pages. Name them so it's clear what they contain. You're allowed up to 10 attachements at 3MB each.

So regarding entering the trust name -

I went with 199 trust.  my trust is called "Justin3 Trust"

I read elsewhere that ATF was kicking back forms based on the word "the" not being in front of trust names

Not using quotation marks here, unless quotation marks appear in the actual document.

My trust document starts off with the title -
Declaration of the Justin3 Trust
View Quote


and the second sentence of the second paragraph says -
It shall be known as the Justin3 Trust and the intent of the trust.......
View Quote


Then the second part of my trust document is titled - CERTIFICATION OF TRUST/DECLARATION OF TRUST

the first line starts out with:
1. Trust Name and Date: The following Trust is the subject of this Certification of Trust: The “Good Trust,” dated 3/16/2-15
View Quote


so based on this info, what is appropriate to put in the application, "The Justin3 Trust" or "Justin3 Trust"  and then what I put in that box would be verbatim what gets engraved on the item being manufactured?

I can only say what I would do if it was me.

I would not include "the" in the title since it's not capitalized. Mine has "the" in the document, but it's not included inside the quotes in one spot, and isn't bold in the other.

The Cert of Trust is a little more questionable, but I don't believe it's required to send that. I did include mine. If you send it, just put it as the last section. I would think you'd have a good argument to get a Disapproval overturned if they Disapproved it because you didn't include "the".

You shouldn't need to include "the" as part of your trust's name. I used 199trust for mine as well and did it the same way you are with "Ctprelude Trust" as the name, and I was just approved last week. "The" would need to be capitalized if it was part of your trust's name.

I used the 199 trust website and my trust is my last name trust with no "the" . It.was just approved last week on a form one and has another week for two suppressors.

I just got my eForm back.........DISAPPROVED

Reason was because I used my PO Box in 3b and didn't give a street address in 3c.

Should I just put my street address in 3b instead of PO Box?

Yes. It has to be registered to an address.




Although, the reality is most legal entities (especially trusts) don't have a physical address. You'd just use your home address.

Just did my first for an SBR on a Delaware Machine lower.  The DM lower literally has no model...  I ended up selecting N/A.  Here's hoping that doesn't hang it up too badly.

I also realized after submitting that my Schedule A isn't assigned...  This was after I originally put the attachments in the line item instead of at the end. And deleted them.  And did it again.

I have a feeling mine will have questions.

Technically "back of the line". However, there's a supervisor there (Ted) that has been approving the new form within 48 hours if you send him the info from the Disapproved F1 and the resubmitted F1.

Do they just 'disapprove' or can you modify the attachments and information if something is out of spec?

Got an email saying DISAPPROVED at 12 noon CST, resubmitted at 1:30 CST.

Got an email saying APPROVED at 9:30pm, so it took 8 hours.

Big thanks to Ted for helping me out on this!

Now how long do refunds take? It kinda sucks that i have to pay again to resubmit the form.

They usually just Disapprove. No call or email to try to correct it. You can upload new attachments after it's submitted and before its Approved/Disapproved...but you can't edit the info on the form.

Ah ok.  Well the only things I had that might have been off are the fact that the Delaware lower has literally no model number, and the Schedule A wasn't signed.  I fixed the Schedule A, but I can't do anything about the model number except hope and wait.

Yes. The recommendation is to leave it blank. However, if you put something there, it doesn't show up on the form. Not sure if the examiners actually see it or not. (Similar to choose "caliber" or "mm").

Pay button problems

Specifically, with Chrome, for those who can't get the Pay.Gov window to show up -

- Log in
- You will see a shield icon on the right end of the browser address bar.   Click or right click on it; you need to allow Chrome to load outdated/unverified scripts for this page
- Log out
- Log back in
- Make sure the form didn't eat your uploaded docs
- Hit pay button.   Should work.

Took me a few hours to figure this out - simply allowing the scripts won't do it, you have to have them allowed for the page before you log in.

I've asked before if the Schedule A (or assignment or whatever you call it) that you include with your trust must be updated each time you send it in or not and I believe the answer was to just send in the original Schedule A that showed the initial funding for the trust.  However, in the past few days I've seen a couple of posts where people are talking about updating the Schedule A before sending it along with an application.  

To confirm, what are people doing?  Does it matter?  There should be no issues sending the original electronic copy of a trust, including the original Schedule A showing only the initial funding (body) of the trust (even if the trust now includes additional property), correct?




For payment, is it fine to use a pre-paid CC?

I don't know about the pre-paid cc.

For the schedule A I just upload the original for each new form 1 I submit. So far so good.

I run mine thru a LLC instead of a Trust. I take it this Schedule A only pertains to Trusts? For my cans & other SBR sending in the State Cert of Corporation and my IRS Tax ID was enough. Just don't want to have the eForm kicked back on me as this is the first time using it.

I don't know if any other entities have an analogous device, but the Schedule A is a part of my specific trust (and, AFAIK, most trusts I have seen have a similar device).  It's just one of the pages that came with the overall document.  It is essentially the list of property that the trust owns.

I have heard various takes on this list - from "it isn't necessary, it's just to help you (and your heirs/beneficiaries) keep track of what the trust owns when the time comes to distribute property" to "it's a running list of what has been approved and I send in an updated list with each F1/F4" and "I update it when I send in the form/get approved/never/when I get around to it/etc".  I have heard plenty of people say (including the poster above) that they only send their original list (including only the initial funding "body" of trust property that was required to execute the valid trust).
