Reading another thread on moving got me thinking about the situation I am in. I am purchasing an SBS from a local friend, Form 4 filed in May of 2016. Just recently my friend moved to a new home on the other side of town, same county different city.

Will the forms just get forwarded to their new address?

Thanks all.

I believe official mail like that cannot be forwarded but I could be wrong.

NFA tax stamps are usually sent "Return Service Requested" which prohibits direct forwarding - they'll get sent back to ATF with a notification of the new address, if one is known.

So it should not get forwarded, though it may show up a couple months later at the new address, depending on how fast ATF processes RSR returned mail.

Thank you.
So I just need to keep following up with ATF then? How do I get the stamp?

Once approved, if it doesn't show up within 30 days you can request a certified copy

Ok thank you. Adds more time to the entire process but not a game changer.

Thanks all!

Seller needs to notify ATF of the address change.

Is there a specific form for that?
