Moving out of state with NFA items

[Deleted member 97214]

I am moving, but do not have an exact date. Is there an eform option to do the required application? And is it only good for a limited time?

I searched for answers, but like all things involving the ATF... theres a fair amount of grey area.

Does anyone have personal experience with this?

Thanks ODT

I have no experience, but I do know this. You can’t be careful enough. Especially when you let the whole world know what you’re doing!
Good luck!

Out of state it’s just a 5320.20 marked as permanent transport and emailed to them

Is there a time limit on the acceptance window? I haven't sold my house or found a new place. I just dont want to be stuck here waiting on a approval... but I'm hesitant to file prematurely in case it expires.

It’s good for a year from approval (perm move no expectation I’d assume) but I’m not 100% sure on what to put if your move date is up in the air. now I’ve never moved out of state but have used it to update in state but still is a perm change

As far as turnaround time goes, 1 month is usually sufficient (emailing the form to NFAFax) although my last one was 3.5 months. Because they lost my form. Twice.
But after they got it and processed it I had it back in 10 days.

I'd like to add that this is only "requested" for SBR, SBS, DDs and MGs. If all you have is suppressors it's not necessary. I also believe this is completely unenforceable and would love someone to find a case where someone got prosecuted for this stupid waste of tax payers money.

Don't stress about it, just do it once you actually have a place in another state, the ATF doesn't actually care unless you just piss someone off so bad that they then want you to have a bad day, they just want their records to be accurate. You've got to do something major to get on someone's radar who even knows what the hell a 5320.20 even is. Don't worry it's no LEO nor are the local ATF agents pulling you over for speeding.

I think this process is mainly checking to ensure that the state to which the Title 2 device is moving, actually allows them.
Some don't.
