FFL Out-of-Business Records Request

All entries must be in ink. Please read the below information before completing this form.

License Number

Dear Sir/Madam:
Our records indicate that your licensed firearms business has been discontinued.

Was your firearms business permanently discontinued? If your firearms business was permanently discontinued, the Gun Control Act and its implementing
regulations require that your firearms records be sent within 30 days to the ATF Out-of-Business Records Center, 244 Needy Road, Martinsburg, West Virginia 25401,
or to any ATF office in the division in which the business was located. Licensed Collectors of Curios and Relics type 03, are NOT required to turn in their records
since the license did NOT authorize any business with respect to firearms. Any records submitted by Collectors will be returned.
Did you have a variance to keep computer records? If you had a computer recordkeeping variance and maintained your firearms records in a computerized database,
you must provide an ASCII text file (conforming to common industry standards) and a file description, in addition to printout(s) of all records, to the Out-of-Business
Records Center, or to any ATF office in the division in which the business was located. The printouts and ASCII text file must contain the information prescribed in 27
CFR 478.125(e).
Was your firearms business succeeded by a new licensee? If your firearms business was succeeded by a new licensee, the records required by 27 CFR 478.121-134
shall appropriately reflect such facts and shall be delivered to the successor. Please note, however, the records may instead be delivered within 30 days following the
business discontinuance to the ATF Out-of-Business Records Center or to any ATF office in the division in which the business was located.
WILLFUL FAILURE TO TURN IN YOUR OUT-OF-BUSINESS RECORDS TO ATF OR TO A SUCCESSOR IS A CRIME PUNISHABLE AS A FELONY,
IMPRISONMENT FOR NOT MORE THAN 5 YEARS AND/OR A FINE OF NOT MORE THAN $250,000.
Your permanent records must be complete, including: (a) An entry for EACH firearm acquired during the term of your firearms business; (b) An entry for each firearm
sold or transferred (including transactions with other licensees and firearms transferred to your personal possession); and (c) An entry showing the disposition of
EACH of the firearms in your inventory when you discontinued your firearms operation.

Records Center toll-free at 1-800-788-7133, ext. 1590.
