C&R FFL Application Form ATF 7CR - use the official BATFE PDF form!
Update - BATFE not accepting my hacked up PDF C&R application form. I'll keep the original message here for archival purposes.
Instead, you should use the official BATFE C&R application form, found at this URL: https://www.atf.gov/firearms/instruc...rearms-license This will work and will get you your C&R FFL! Turby Quote:

I'd check to see if they will accept a PDF printed app. First issue is that the original is on Green paper. Will they accept it on white paper?
If a PDF version was acceptable, why don't they have it available on the website? I know, .gov runs slow. Quote:

Thanks for this. Another CGer and I haven't gotten our application yet and we ordered them over 2 months ago. I am going to call and order some and ask to see if this is acceptable too.
|
For "Position," do I enter "Doggie Style" or what? :)
Also, I have answered "Yes" to section 11 d) and want to know what is meant by "Full Details." I cannot remember the address of one of the gun stores I worked at 17 years ago. Is that a problem, not to include an address? I think both forms would be great. Saves the trouble of blocking out and the CC info I filled out in the Federal copy. |
Two things:
1) If someone does call the BATFE and find out if this form is acceptable, please let me know. 2) If #1 is affirmative, then I will get the CLEO form set up in this PDF. So, folks, hold off from too many people downloading and using the form just yet until we get these things cleared up. Turby |
Just got off the phone with the ATF. Ordered some application for myself just in case and then got transferred around to ask if they would take a photocopy of the C&R application and they said it shouldn't be a problem. Worse can happen is they send you a real copy and make you fill that out. So if someone wants to be the guinea pig, go for it!
|
Bowser, thanks. I will go ahead and make some edits to the form to allow you to also submit the CLEO application at the same time, and we'll go from there.
A new version will be upped shortly. Turby |
Ok everyone, new version up - no file name change (on purpose) now featuring:
* Fill in the first forms and have your CLEO form filled out automatically too! * Data saveable Need someone to download and try this out - my tests showed that the form worked great, but curious if anyone else can find any flaws that need to be fixed. Who's going to be the test subject to see if this online copy will pass with the ATF? :) Turby |
I sent in my application yesterday. Lets see if it works.

With the revised version now available for download, you don't have to print 2x, you enter data once, and 2 forms are ready to be used. Thanks for trying the form. Let us know how it goes. Turby |
It keeps telling me; "The file is damaged and could not be repaired.":confused:

I've just tested the file again on a machine that's never had it downloaded and opened before, and it works for me. Verify that you're getting a full 4MB file. Are you using the latest Acrobat Reader?

Is the original form printed double-sided?
Back side straight up or upside-down? Thanks! |
original is double-sided, and the back-side is upside-down.

I dunno, Inox asked.
I would suggest printing it doublesided to be safe. Would suck to get it bounced if it was printed single-sided. I do know that for the Form 1 and Form 4, many people would print them single-sided, and the NFA branch has sent them back because of that. |

I just noticed a 30 dollar transaction from my account. Looks like they took my money. Lets see how long it takes to get my license now.:43:

why don't you just print it double-sided so it is as close to the original as possible?

so you just print the first page back into the printer upside down and print the second page on the back of the first. Double-sided printing on the cheap.

I printed it single sided. It took less that two weeks for the charge to my account. The day after I sent it out I got the real application in the mail that I requested 2 month ago. Go figure.
|
Thanks Turbinator. I don't even remember when I ordered my C&R liscence forms and it showed up a couple days ago. Must have been at the beginning of the year or something, ATF took way to long on that. Its good we can just download it now.

Ok... Filling out the form and where I have to list my addresses from the last 5 year I have 3 and it is longer than the box provided. How will it look printed out or should I just hand write them in?
Thank you very much for making this able to be filled out on the computer. Makes it much easier on me and for whoever has to try to read my handwriting :chris: |

You're welcome. I hope this form works and I'm looking forward to people getting their C&R's with it. Turby |

Being able to type this out and print it is much better than writing it all out by hand. Thank you again!! |
Turbinator,
Thank you for taking the time to scan this and make a fillable form. I was going to attempt the exact same thing but I lost my copies of the form the last time I moved. I know it can be a hassle getting all of the fields correct so thank you again for the nice job you did on this. I will be sending mine in as well and will let you know when I get a response. |
Mailed printed PDF application on 5/5, and of course not even a week later I get the real application in the mail. :rolleyes:
I'll donate the green forms to anyone that wants them after my PDF app is accepted. |
Thanks for the info
|
I have called and confirmed 3 different times that they would accept the pdf we have here. Twice was the same girl. Other time was a guy that seemed a little peeved that I was asking.
(Posted here and on the "how long?" post) |
Ok I downloaded the file not problems. Now is see that I need a valid Hunting license. Can this be right?
Also can someone tell me how to change the font size? Thanks |
