    I called ATF when I moved to Texas. I asked them what paperwork I needed to file for my suppressor due to my change in address. I got a non-committal non-answer. Can anyone here tell me what's required these days? TIA!

    How to Notify the ATF when Moving States with Suppressor​

    If you need to notify the ATF that you’re moving with a suppressor, you’ll need to fill out an Application to Transport Interstate or to Temporarily Export Certain NFA Firearms, also known as a Form 20 or 5320.20. You can print, sign, and mail, email, or fax it to the following respective addresses:

    BATFE

    ATTN NFA Branch

    244 Needy Road

    Martinsburg, WV 25405


    NFAFAX@ATF.GOV

    (304) 616-4501

    Before you take your suppressor out of state, make sure that you receive an approved 5320.20 back from the ATF.

    For a silencer you don't. Nothing needed on your end, Silencer Shop is wrong. A 5320.20 does not apply to silencers.
    Thanks! This supports what you're saying here.


    It seems the notification requirement applies to FIREARMS. A suppressor isn't a firearm.
