What Is “Registration Information” and Why Is It Required?

Understand what “Registration Information” means in your Silencer Shop account and why it’s required for ATF Form 4 submissions.

Your Registration Information includes all the ATF-required details and personal data needed to complete and submit your Form 4 or Form 1 application.
​
This information ensures your submission meets federal requirements and is processed correctly through the ATF eForms system.
​

Below is everything included in your Registration Information on Silencer Shop:

✅ Full legal name (must match your government-issued ID)


✅ Date of birth


✅ Place of birth


✅ Current residential address


✅ Citizenship


*Non-U.S. citizens in the U.S. on a nonimmigrant visa must also provide an exception document, such as a hunting license or permit.
​
✅ Ethnicity and race (required ATF data fields)


✅ Social Security Number (SSN) – optional but recommended for faster processing


✅ 15 registration questions required by the ATF


✅ Registration type – choose Trust, Individual, or Corporation
​
If registering with an NFA Gun Trust, upload your trust document.
If you purchased and completed your trust through Silencer Shop, it will be automatically uploaded to your account.


✅ A valid passport-style photo


✅ Fingerprints
​
​Please Note: You can complete all sections of your Registration Information in your Silencer Shop dashboard online under the Registration Information — except for fingerprints.
​
We recommend filling out all other required information in advance to get a head start before visiting a Silencer Shop Kiosk or mailing in your fingerprint cards.
