of a firearm and enable NICS to verify
the identity of the person acquiring the
firearm, ATF Form 4473 also requests
certain optional information. This information includes the transferee’s social security number. Such information
may help avoid the possibility of the
transferee being misidentified as a
felon or other prohibited person.
(3) After the transferee has executed
the Form 4473, the licensee:
(i) Shall verify the identity of the
transferee by examining the identification document (as defined in § 478.11)
presented, and shall note on the Form
4473 the type of identification used;

who is an alien admitted to the United
States under a nonimmigrant visa who
states that he or she falls within an exception to, or has a waiver from, the
prohibition in section 922(g)(5)(B) of
the Act, have the transferee present
applicable documentation establishing
the exception or waiver, note on the
Form 4473 the type of documentation
provided, and attach a copy of the documentation to the Form 4473; and
(iv) Shall comply with the requirements of § 478.102 and record on the
form the date on which the licensee
contacted the NICS, as well as any response provided by the system, including any identification number provided
by the system.
(4) The licensee shall identify the
firearm to be transferred by listing on
the Form 4473 the name of the manufacturer, the name of the importer (if
any), the type, model, caliber or gauge,
and the serial number of the firearm.
(5) The licensee shall sign and date
the form if the licensee does not know

letter application, in duplicate, to the
Director of Industry Operations and
shall describe the proposed alternate
record and the need therefor. Such alternate records shall not be employed
by the licensed manufacturer until approval in such regard is received from
the Director of Industry Operations.
(d) Each licensed manufacturer shall
maintain separate records of the sales
or other dispositions made of firearms
to nonlicensees. Such records shall be
maintained in the form and manner as
prescribed by §§ 478.124 and 478.125 in regard to firearms transaction records
and records of acquisition and disposition of firearms.
