ATF FORM 4473

A Firearms Transaction Record, or ATF Form 4473, is a form provided by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) required to be completed when a person wants to purchase or a firearm from a Federal Firearms License (FFL) holder, such as a gun dealer.
 
ATF Form 4473 contains the purchaser’s name, address, date of birth, government-issued photo ID, National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) or state issued background check transaction number, and a short affidavit stating that the purchaser is eligible to purchase firearms under federal law. It also contains the make, model, or serial numbering the firearm. 
Traditionally, this form has been completed by manually handwriting the required information by the customer, and the dealer. With the Gun StoreMaster fast4473™ electronic ATF Form 4473 system, firearms dealers can quickly and accurately process forms for their buyers.
