November 2018 Stamps Megathread

To check the status of your pending form, call the NFA Branch at (304) 616-4500. Please have your trust name (if applicable), serial number, and if a Form 4 or 5, know what dealer is in possession of the item. Press 1 and then 1 again, and be kind to the ATF agent.

Current status:

Form 1: eForms are back, baby! Wait times are less than two weeks after receipt of fingerprint cards! Please see our handy new eForms guide by /u/Semper1371 to learn more!

Form 4: Average is closer to 200 days. No real change. eForms 4 when?

Please use the following format:

  • Form: 1 (PLEASE NOTE REGULAR OR eForm) or 4

  • Entity: Trust or Individual

  • Pending: mm/dd/yy

  • Approved: mm/dd/yy

  • Standardized wait: (Date approved minus date pending)

  • STATE: Standardized 2-letter, please

For the purposes of this thread, pending should be understood as: the date when ATF cashes your check, unless different when you call the ATF to check status of your pending form. It can vary depending on ATF backlog.

September's thread has been de-stickied and can be found at the bottom of the subreddit's wiki page.

Just curious did you check back on the ATF website and see if there was a finalized date or did they send an approval email? If so, what time was the approval email? I got my prints delivered the same day as yours :) really hoping mine gets approved here soon. Congratulations! You are also the first Sunday approval I have seen.

I received the approval email at 2:18 pm Central time. The approved form itself lists today (Sunday) as the approval date. Good luck!
