ATF Form Question

[tradertator]

I'm getting ready to mail off a batch of form 1's, and wondered if I need to buy a manilla envelope to mail them in, or if I can get by with folding them, and putting them in a regular envelope. Last time I bought the big one, but am feeling cheap and want to drop these in the mail tonight. As anal retentive as the BATF seem to be, this seemed worthy of asking.

My first was in a #10 and it came back fine. And since they send them to you in a #10, I think it would be fine.

Feel free to fold em. If you use a manilla envelope, it won't make a difference as they (BATFE) will send them back to you upon approval folded up in a #10 envelope anyway.

That's what I thought, but didn't wanted to be sure. I'm using a personal check this time instead of postal MO, so I can track when they cash it.

I normally send mine in that flat-rate envilope from the post office. Costs more than a #10 but I havn't had one lost yet, where my #10 has a 1/9 loss rate.

I personally would not fold fingerprint cards.

 

[tradertator]

Very good point Corey , I hadn't thought about that. I'm going with the big one.

hey not to hijack, but did you get your forms signed here in bloomington, or do you live somewhere else too and get them signed there? I am wondering because I have a "permanent" address further north and was planning on getting them signed up there because I thought bloomington might be a hassle.

 

[tradertator]

I've had the BPD chief sign them in the past, with no trouble at all. Drop them off with the gal up front, and they'll call you to pick them up in a day or 2 when they are signed.

I did have to pay to get fingerprinted, something around $5. Next time I'm doing them at work.

Chesterton does printing for free for town residents, but keeps threatening to charge me...

lol, sounds like me.

Hendricks County used to do it for free and then they met me, now I think it's $6.00.

Avon charged me $10. I should have gone to HCSD.
