ATF Form 4473
Español
Answers to some common questions about requirements for Form 4473 including where to order, how to download and proper means of identification for purchasing a firearm.
When documenting residency of a member of the armed forces on active duty, item 26.c. on Form 4473 asks for "PCS Base/City and State." Is that asking for both the base as well as the city and state, or just one or the other?
In instances where firearms are ordered and have not arrived, may an FFL postpone recording serial number information in item 3 of Form 4473 until after the transferee has completed Section B, and then complete item 3 after the arrival of the firearm?
Does the Form 4473 have to be retained if the customer does not complete Section B and a NICS check is never initiated?
