Can I fill out Form 4473 at home?

After the transferor/seller has completed the firearms transaction, he/she must make the completed, original ATF Form 4473 (which includes the Notices, General Instructions, and Definitions), and any supporting documents, part of his/her permanent records.

Where do I order an ATF Form 4473?

A paper copy of the ATF Form 4473 can be downloaded directly from the ATF website. This is a fillable PDF form that you can fill in and print or print and fill out in ink. On the ATF page the download link is very small and can be hard to see.
