If you are transferring the item from a dealer to you, it requires a Form-4

You will need...

2 BATFE Form 4's
2 Passport size photographs attached to the Form 4's
2 Fingerprint cards with the ORI for BATFE on the cards
1 Citizenship form certifying that you are a US citizen
Signature of your local CLEO on both Form 4's
$200.00 transfer fee
A lot of patience cause the BATFE does NOT get in a hurry to complete the transfer process.

If you are making your own SBR

You will need...

2 BATFE Form 1's
2 Passport size photographs attached to the Form 1's
2 Fingerprint cards with the ORI for BATFE on the cards
1 Citizenship form certifying that you are a US citizen
Signature of your local CLEO on both Form 1's
$200.00 "making" fee
The receiver must be engraved with the "makers" name, City and State. There are BATFE regs that describe the minimum size and depth for engraving.
A lot of patience cause the BATFE does NOT get in a hurry to complete the transfer process.

There are also procedures if you want to use a trust or efile, but I've never used those routes and can't guide you in that direction.

The forms and fingerprint cards can be ordered free of charge from the BATFE website.

With the changes there are 3 parts to the new Form 4. (and I'm assuming the Form 1) It now required 3 passport photos.

Signature of the CLEO is no longer required. It is now a notification process. That is where the 3rd form/picture is going.

Thank you for all the info guys ... I appreciate it !

I was not aware that three photos are now required. I wonder why? I knew that the CLEO was required to sign the form by state law, but I haven't heard that it was now no longer required.

I was talking about the original way of making and filling out the forms, not a trust or efile. We aren't getting the two mixed are we?

Yes, for an individual using paper forms there is now 3. 2 that go to the ATF and one for the CLEO. All three require a photo. The CLEO does not have to sign or return, but you have to "notify" the CLEO by sending the form to him.

I think the reason for the 3rd photo is because previously the CLEO would see the forms being submitted.

Here is the new Form 4
