ATF Form 8 (5310.11) Part II Federal Firearms License (FFL) Renewal Application - Draft
What Is ATF Form 8?
ATF Form 8 , also known as ATF Form 8 Part 2, or ATF Form 5310.11 is a form used to renew the Federal Firearms Licence (FFL). The FFL is necessary to sell, transfer, and distribute firearms.
The most recent version of the ATF Form 8 was issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) on January 1, 2011 . The ARF 8 Form can be found below.
The ATF sends the FFL renewal form to license holders 90 days prior to the license expiration date. The completed form should be returned to the ATF before the expiration date. If the licensee does not want to renew the license, they should complete the form anyway to notify the ATF about their decision. If they miss the deadline, a new license must be obtained by filling out ATF Form 7. A business cannot be continued until a license is obtained or renewed.
When the form is mailed to the ATF, the licensee should request a Letter of Authorization (LOA). It will allow continuing the business under the existing license while the application is being processed. The LOA is good for six months.
