Section 3.7 Maintaining registration documents. A person possessing an NFA firearm registered as
required by law must retain proof of registration, that is, the document showing the persons registration,
which must be made available to ATF upon request. 26 U.S.C. 5841(e)
TITLE 27 CFR CHAPTER II § 479.71 Proof of registration.
The approval by the Director of an application, Form 1 (Firearms), to make a firearm under this
subpart shall effectuate registration of the firearm described in the Form 1 (Firearms) to the person
making the firearm. The original Form 1 (Firearms) showing approval by the Director shall be retained
by the maker to establish proof of his registration of the firearm described therein, and shall be made
available to any ATF officer on request.
