I Have a Hyphenated Name — Do I List Both in My Account?

Find out how to correctly enter your hyphenated name in your Silencer Shop and ATF eForms accounts to avoid submission errors.

If you have a hyphenated name, you should:

  • In your Silencer Shop Dashboard: Enter your name normally, including the hyphen (e.g., Smith-Jones).
    ​

  • In your ATF eForms account: Enter your name without the hyphen (e.g., SmithJones).

This difference is necessary because the ATF eForms system historically does not accept hyphens in name fields.
​
Following this format ensures your information matches correctly across both systems and prevents submission issues.
