E file form 20?

[Thumpy]

Hey fellas have any of you ever efiled a form 20 to travel? Or is it only paper allowed?

As of today, the eforms system shows that the 5320.20 is available and I was able to navigate the "train stops" for testing purposes. 

 

Alternatively, the F20 is the only application (that I'm aware of) which may be submitted via email to the ATF. 

The form states at Instructions b. "The form can be submitted via facsimile to the NFA Division at (304) 616-4501 or may be scanned and emailed to
NFAFax@atf.gov."

Any idea on how to find a control number? I’ve been hung up on twice when dealing with the absolute monkeys who man their phone.

The control number is at the very top left hand corner of the approved F4 (newer versions) or it can be searched within eforms.  

via the 5320.20 ---- once you get to the Firearms "train stop", click Find Control Number. then enter the item's info.

 

If you need additional help, shoot me a PM with your phone number

I e-filed a form 20 a few weeks ago and it was approved in less than 24 hours! As Navgunner mentioned I was easily able to look up the control number and mg details to fill in via search functions built in to the e forms system.
