Looks like it!
(ATF is pleased to announce the return of ATF eForm 1, Application to Make and Register a Firearm, to the eForms system. This version allows filing by individual applicants, trusts and other legal entities (LLCs, corporations, etc.), and government agencies.)
It actually works pretty good....................for a government run project.Filed one on Friday. The site is very slow and finicky, at least it was on Friday.
So I filed that Friday....
Just got an email approval.
10 days.
GTG.
Web site is pretty straight forward. You upload photo, scan or responsible party (s) form and trust documents if applicable. They then send an email with a cover letter to which you attach fingerprint cards through snail mail.
Only thing the $40 gets you is a program overlay that achieves the same uploads, digital fingerprints or printed versions from their system, and the cLEO letter.
I still gotta figure out the CLEO notification, kinda figured out that I had more time
Worked pretty good to be sure. Got a scan of the ATF copy in email. Will see how long the paper takes to come or if the scan is the functional copy.
I asked my Sheriff what he does with the paperwork and he said that they just stick them in a file and don't do anything with them.ny Understanding is that the CLEO is notified, not asked for approval. They are just “told”. I have no idea what they do with the documents that they are sent.
Anybody?

Last time I used Eforms it was for Trust or Corporations only I think. You didn't submit any photos or fingerprints back then. How do you submit the fingerprints and photos on Eforms now?
right now word is 1-3 weeks. I plan on doing a couple between Christmas and New Years (when I have some time off).This makes me want to form 1 a new can. 10days?????? Is that the new norm for efile?
Here are the instructions pertaining to fingerprint & photo submission from the eforms website:
"Special Instructions for Individuals, Trusts and Legal Entities
FILING AS AN INDIVIDUAL
The applicant must attach a digital photo in the Photo function on the Responsible Person tab.
The applicant must also provide his or her fingerprints on Form FD-258. The fingerprints will be submitted separately from the application. Upon submission of the application, the eForms system will email a cover sheet to the applicant. The cover sheet is to be printed as it will provide the control number of the transaction and the address where to send the fingerprint cards. The cover sheet and fingerprint cards MUST be mailed to the NFA Division within 10 business days of filing the application.
FILING AS A TRUST OR OTHER LEGAL ENTITY
In addition to providing the documentation of the existence of the trust or other legal entity, the applicant must electronically provide a photograph and completed ATF Form 5320.23, NFA Responsible Person Questionnaire (RPQ), for each responsible person (see definition 1.e on the instruction page) of the trust or legal entity. When filed via eForms, when in the Responsible Person function, the applicant will identify each responsible person and attach the photograph and a scanned, signed RPQ from that person. All photographs and RPQ forms must be attached to the application prior to submission.
The fingerprints for each responsible person must also be submitted. As for an individual applicant, the fingerprint cards must be sent to the NFA Division. The eForms system will email a cover sheet to the applicant listing the names of the responsible persons and is to be printed. The cover sheet and the fingerprint cards for all RP’s MUST be mailed in one batch to the NFA Division within 10 days of filing the application.
Please note that the F 5320.23, NFA RPQ, form is available in a fillable version on the ATF website (www.atf.gov). The form can be completed and printed for signature and scanning. "
I used a selfie. I stood in front of a white wall as square as I could. Cropped it to 2 inch by 2 inch on Microsoft office picture viewer and submitted it. Do your best to imitate what a passport photo would look like and you won't have a problem.Do you know if the same requirements for the paper form 1 for the photo are the same as the eform?
In other words does it have to have the same form as a passport photo or can I just take a selfie to upload?
Thanks!I used a selfie. I stood in front of a white wall as square as I could. Cropped it to 2 inch by 2 inch on Microsoft office picture viewer and submitted it. Do your best to imitate what a passport photo would look like and you won't have a problem.
