The ATF’s eForms system has been overwhelmed, but we are working through and processing forms. We’re currently submitting and certifying forms on a first-in, first-out basis, starting with orders placed in July 2025 and continuing chronologically through January 2026.
Orders are prepared in the sequence they were placed, starting with orders from July. If you ordered in December, you’re toward the back of the line. We’re moving as fast as the ATF’s system allows. We will contact you when your paperwork is ready to sign, when it’s ready to certify (final step) and again when it’s approved.
If you’ve placed an order with TAG, here’s what you can expect:
- Within 1-2 Weeks: You will receive a DocuSign email for each suppressor purchased. It is critical that you review, sign, and complete these documents promptly to ensure your application can be filed electronically as soon as the ATF system becomes available.
- After Signing: Once you’ve signed your documents and the ATF system has successfully received your information, you’ll receive a “Ready to Certify” notice. This is the final step in the electronic filing process. This email will only be sent after your Form 4 has been drafted in eForms. Depending on your purchase date and eForms system stability, this notification may take 1 to 2 weeks after you sign your initial documents.
While eForms is online, it’s important to understand it is currently performing well-below the desired standard. Frequent errors, intermittent downtime, and unusually long loading times are affecting the ability to submit and certify forms. We expect this to improve as the initial surge of traffic subsides.
We appreciate your patience. We’re working through a high volume of submissions and will keep you updated as your order progresses.
