[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Application to make and register a firearm

Posted: 3/28/2021 5:39:26 AM EDT

Good morning,

I thought I’d completed the ATF form to make and register a firearm using Adobe fill and sign. I selected the documents from my files and uploaded them to the ATF website. However, after looking at the “submitted” page the ATF has it showing blank fields in the “responsible persons questionnaire.” The documents are showing as signed and manufacturer and manufacturer address are all showing. But not the questions I answered about not being a felon or an illegal immigrant. I marked the boxes with an “X”. Anyone have something similar happen?

Never had that happen, but I also print the RPQ out, sign it, scan it, and then upload it with my eform. As far as I know, the ATF doesn't allow digital signatures on the RPQ.

Good to know lol. Next question, Will they revert my application back to pending? When will I be allowed to correct it? Thank you!

Nope. Most likely, the application will get denied and the stamp refunded. You would then have to resubmit.YMMV.

Have you already mailed your fingerprint cards?

No, I haven’t mailed them yet. I’m going by the cop shop tomorrow to gets me prints taken. I messaged the “experts” on the ATF website I just did it last night. Now I know. I’ll call them tomorrow and see if anything can be done. OR, I wonder if I can submit another lower SN while this one is being processed. Worse case scenario... I end up with two SBR lowers. Thank you guys for your thoughts. All are welcomed as this is new to me.

Easiest most straightforward route would be to just cancel the application and resubmit, especially since fingerprint cards haven't been submitted yet.

Cool, they’ll have to cancel it for me. The application is already “in process.” I see no way to do it myself.

You can upload a corrected RPQ if you need to. I did it on my last one. The old one will still be there so just name it clearly so they’ll know to check it. Upload it in the documents section, not the RP section.

Awesome info. I thought about uploading one before having them try to correct it. However, your idea of uploading the corrected version would be better I think. That saves the ATF and myself time and effort b
