How a Form 4 transfer works

These are the general steps under ATF rules:

  1. You buy the item from your seller.
  2. The seller or dealer ships it to us on a Form 3.
  3. You submit an ATF Form 4 through ATF eForms, with your fingerprints (EFT) and a photo.
  4. ATF reviews and approves the Form 4.
  5. You pick up the item with your ID, a Form 4473 and a background check.

Your item stays at the shop until approval comes through.

Fingerprints for ATF eForms

We take fingerprints on site on Mondays and Wednesdays. Fingerprinting is free with a transfer, or $50 if you only need prints. Either way, you receive your EFT file to upload with your eForms submission.
