it is reccommended that you fire them off a quick letter telling them you have moved and that your new permanent address will be XXXXXX, but there isn't anything you MUST do provided you are staying in the same state.

I'm in the same boat with my suppressors.  The form 4 states that "the registrant SHALL notify the NFA Branch in writing of any change in address".

Is that a requirement?  The word "shall" to me represents a requirement, however I am no expert on the subject :).  I didn't even leave the same county, just moved about 25 miles east.

Any additional information anyone can provide is greatly appreciated.

Federal law says that BATFE "shall" keep track of the location of NFA items in the NFA Registry. So, they must print that on the form.

But there is no corresponding law specifically requiring that registrants comply with that request. FAIK -- and I am not an attorney, thus this is not legal advice -- there is no crime they can charge you with if you fail to comply.

Just send them a letter. Whether or not it's the law, it definitely is a good idea to comply with BATFE requests unless there is a compelling reason to not do so.

Do you know if this is the address to send it to?  No box # or street address?  This is what is printed on the form 4.
