ATF eForm 4: Fastest Way To Get A Suppressor? eFile For Your Silencer!

[@SilencerShop]

Effective immediately (June 3, 2022), customers registering for their ATF eForm 4 as “Individual” can certify their eForm 4 applications remotely! Certifying and submitted remotely for Individuals is identical to the process for customers whom registered as a Trust or Corporation. ATF is planning to update the online instructions soon, and have confirmed that the current ‘in-person’ instruction is being removed. Silencer Shop is continually working to improve the eForms process and would be glad to answer any questions. Just give us a call or DM on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.

​@@Thesnakedude444 well i did mine through silencer shop online. It's taken about a month so far and i just finished the last step which is watiing for my form to be approved by the ATF. The dude told me running time right now is around 5 months. But its at my local range so i go shoot it whenever i want while i wait.

[@kholeeko]

I was sold on the idea of the process being "fast". Not sure exactly what their idea of fast is but I am feeling a bit duped. I started my e-form registration on April 14th, 2022 for my newly purchased SILENCERCO OMEGA 36M. Apr 15th eForms Registration Confirmation Apr 18th Welcome to eForms Apr 28th Silencer Shop requesting DocuSign / e-signatures for the "next step" Apr 28th Completed the DocuSign May 19th Your eForm 4 is ready to Certify! May 19th Status of your eForms submission with the subject Permit/Control number has changed to SUBMITTED/IN PROCESS I was under the impression I would be through the ATF ringer by mid to late August but wow was I wrong! Today is the first of November and am still empty-handed with no forecast of when. Updated November 26th: Still not a word 😏

Purchase was from late December and was ready to certify within a few weeks all in the middle of the roll out of Eforms, SilencerShop’s new processes and procedures, etc.-overall decent so far all things considered. I’m willing to bet the first wave of us in eforms wont see 90 day approvals from the ATF, but has to be better than current paper forms timelines.

[@balrog006]

What do you mean “you are ready to certify”? Are you just prepared to do so having registered on ATF eforms or is your status on SilencerShop’s site tell you that your status is ‘ready to certify’? Have you reached out to your dealer to ask them if you can certify? Maybe the dealer isn’t aware because they lost their notification or don’t know how to proceed? Maybe their one guy that does it is on vacation somewhere sunny? Either way, sitting and waiting only works when other people do their part-politely call and ask, see if you can advance the situation for yourself.

@@balrog006 thanks for the motivation. I’ve called my dealer twice telling them I’m ready to certify and I have my ATF PIN number. Both times. I was told “this is on our end”.

Gotta say, my experience has been far from fast or easy. Made a purchase a month ago and still can't get y'all to even submit the forms. I was told by your staff to go to my local gun store and have them file the paperwork, and apparently they can't do anything until you guys prep the forms. I would say, based off of my experience, use someone else. These guys are a nightmare. Their customer service sucks. It takes days to get a response, and even then, they don't respond to the issue at hand. Whoever "Mike" is in their support is an absolute disaster. He as no desire to resolve issues whatsoever and has no business in customer support. Now that I'm a month in and can't do anything, they want to charge me 35% to cancel an order because they can't seem to do their job. Much like the ATF, they're quick to take your money, but slow to do anything else.

I'll be honest. This process has been a huge pain, at least with my dealer. 3 times the 'system has been down'. The first submission failed due to 'no finger prints'? A recent try had the system experience an issue where they requested calling me back. I work during the day making it difficult to spend 1/2hr on the phone being in meetings frequently. At this point I'd just prefer to wait 9 months as the slow way has never failed for me. Best case for me it'll take 7 months.

So I have been stuck in "Ready to Certify" with no ready-to-certify email since December. Let's say dealers were not ready till mid-January; ok, that's still a month for them to prepare a forum 4 (5-minute task). Am I still on a 90-day track? Or did we just add 1-2 months? Putting me at 120-150 days which isn't much different from filing as paper; at least with paper, there is no need to set up a time with a dealer or have that extra step and reliance on a dealer to certify. This is a bust for me so far; id instead go paper and have my guarantee. Especially since it does not look any faster right now due to the incompetence of dealers and the reliance on them.

[@johnsgm2]

The part where some person sits and just sloggs though a pile of paperwork before your wait begins has now just moved from ATF to silencer shop. So just sits there for a couple of months before they open your efile with the ATF and then you wait for several more months. How is that faster ? My order has been sitting in preparing for efile for 7 weeks since I completed everything with my dealer. 90 days is not the wait time. 90 days is how long its currently taking SS to file your eform. Hire some temps.

My can was received by my FFL at the end of January, and it took them a month to tell me it was in. Then they had an issue with attaching the serial number to my SS account, and now I’m not sure if the certification worked… As I got the email from the ATF, but SS dashboard is showing ready to certify.

[@williewilliams3455]

General thoughts on the ATFs “disclaimer” about being able to use any and all information you submit at anytime without any needing your permission. Also goes on to say that once you accept the “disclaimer” it’s final, no take backs lol. Anyone else a bit nervous about “accepting” the terms when creating an account? I’m thinking I’d rather wait the 12-14 months…

[@realghostactual]

You’re gonna wait 12-14 months regardless now because eforms are not taking as fast as the ATF said anyway

I’m more confused now than before I watched this. I created and notarized my trust, ordered my suppressor and tax stamp from silencer shop, and then went in and got everyone on the trust done at the kiosk with photos and fingerprints. I’m not sure what the next step is, because my silencer shop account says I’m 100% complete. I’m guessing I need to go in and do the ATF E form account info then wait on the shop to call me back. The shop was not AT ALL helpful and gave conflicting info, which made them sound pretty unsure of the process. Any wisdom would be appreciated

I don’t get it. Everyone I’ve talked to said the paper form backlog will be cleared first before any eforms will be approved. My paper form with the check cashed back in May 2021 is looking like an August 2022 approval at the earliest, so 90 days seems like really sneaky marketing at best and maybe outright deception at worst.

If you have used the kiosk before for fingerprints you can buy copies from silencershop to be mailed to you. The ATF still requires printed finger prints with eform 1's. My eform 1 took 16 days to get my approval.

[@ConcealedSteel]

You can order printed fingerprint cards from silencershop right now (that contain your digital prints from the kiosk), that are 100% complete. Then you file your form 1 on eforms and you get an immediate email from the ATF with a cover letter and submitted copy of your form 1. Then you mail 2 things: your prints and the cover to the ATF address on the cover letter, and the CLEO copy of the form 1 to your CLEO. It's actually super simple. I got my first approved form 1 for an SBR a week ago just like this. 29 Days from when I clicked submit, to receiving my stamp.

Hi Matthew! Thanks for your trusting us.! After you do the Docusign (note if you file as an Individual, you won't get a Docusign, but if you filed in any other way, you will), you don't need to take any further action until you're Ready to Certify. To the point about "how long does it usually take" the dealer also has to take action with your application for Ready to Certify email to go out. After the Silencer Shop Compliance Team checks your information (the Silencer Shop accuracy rate is 99.5% and industry average is 60%) the dealer also actions the application and then the Ready to Certify email will be sent to you. Because each dealer is independently owned and operated, we can't predict how long it'll take for their step. Appreciate you connecting.
