NFA Transfers

1. We must be in possession of the NFA item before we can start the required paperwork that is sent into the NFA branch via eforms.

2. Fingerprints & Passport Photo - Each responsible person (could be more than one person when using a trust) or individual will need to have their fingerprints and passport photo taken. You are more than welcome to have them taken by someone else but they must be legitimately equipped to capture fingerprints and passport photos.

3. Responsible Persons questionnaire (trusts only) - Each person on the trust who will be a responsible person must complete a responsible person questionnaire along with their fingerprints and passport photo. We are able to facilitate the preparation of the responsible persons questionnaire digitally for you (remotely).

4. Form 4 - Each NFA item will require a Form 4 which is an application for a tax paid transfer ($0 tax after January 1st 2026). This is required to legally transfer the NFA item from the seller to the buyer. We prepare the documentation on your behalf if you purchase the NFA item from us at which point you and Ballard Supply Co will sign the form for processing with the NFA branch of the ATF. If you buy through SilencerShop they will likely work with you to complete the Form 4 and the accompanying fingerprints and photo.
